On mine (Fedora 24):

========================================================================
$ ldd $(which less)
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffdbbb79000)
	libtinfo.so.6 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.6 (0x00007f8d72678000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f8d722b6000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055e31be7e000)
========================================================================

Notably missing is: /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.6
