Could somebody explain what can cause this, apart from a storage drive error?

Nothing to do with storage errors. Upgrading ncurses deleted libncursesw.so.5 (presumably replacing it with libncursesw.so.6), so when (old) bash went to find the copy of libncursesw it was linked with, it was gone. The new copy of bash will use the new linbcursesw library once it is installed. --Sean

This is why we need hooks in pacman already. (coming to a maze near you soon™)
