I don't think the login shell was affected, just an error when the post_upgrade function failed to call install-info.
Your login shell should be reloaded when you log back in.
No, since I read the mail of the OP before the update was available here, I tested it, because I was curious, since nothing was mentioned by the news. After installing gptfdisk and readline, there was no way to login or to systemd-nspawn from another install. I needed to mv back the old ncurses libs, before I could continue.
As for AUR packages, if they need to link against ncurses then they need to be rebuilt. Leave a comment on those packages that they should receive a pkgrel bump so they are rebuilt against ncurses 6.0
I will do so, assumed I've got time to do it, unfortunately not today. I removed the version 5 libs from my install, so soon or later something I'm using might be affected. I just run pacman -Qi ncurses and noticed that at least one package that is installed is affected, but I'm not using it at the moment: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ packages mutt-sidebar Repositories aur/mutt-sidebar 1.5.24-1 [installed] (Out of Date) (115) Small but very powerful text-based mail client aur/mutt-sidebar-hg r6486.0d346dc8dccb-1 (1) A small but very powerful text-based mail client Installed local/mutt-sidebar 1.5.24-1 Small but very powerful text-based mail client There might be other packages too, but I've got no time at the moment to check all of them. mutt-sidebar already is flagged. "packages" is a script ;), just the output "(Out of Date)" matters. Regards, Ralf
