This list is missing 'readline-devel'.  The base 'readline' package does 
not require libtermcap, but if you look at the spec file, you'll see 
that 'readline-devel' Requires: libtermcap-devel.  This means that any 
package that has a BR: readline-devel likely gets linked with and ends 
up with an implicit Requires: on libtermcap...

...including cyphesis.  Once readline is fixed, then many of these 
packages probably just need a rebuild to remove the libtermcap dependency.
