This is not an issue anymore.

post_upgrade() {
  echo ">> You can safely ignore any \"cannot open shared object\"
errors you see above"
}

This was the install scriptlet. Since pacman3, the error it refers to is
gone (probably due to different upgrade mechanisms) and I removed the
install= line from the ncurses PKGBUILD some time ago (I don't have an
install file for ncurses in my local package db).
