Cannot install bmon using opkg under Openwrt?

After running opkg install bmon, I got this error:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install bmon
Installing bmon (4.0-1) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/generic/packages/packages/bmon_4.0-1_ar71xx.ipk.

I have searched for quite a while, but there is few info about bmon.

And this is my opkg.conf

From the logs it seems like bmon has dependency on libncursesw which tries to install some files which were already available from libncurses. Since both the packages has similar functionalities, you can force the installation by

opkg --nodeps install bmon

This will install the required package but leave the dependencies.
