Description:

The most recent ncurses update clashes with the libtinfo package.


Running sudo pacman -Syu gives as part of its output:

core/ncurses 6.0+20170902-1 6.0+20170902-2
...
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
ncurses: /usr/lib/libtinfo.so exists in filesystem
ncurses: /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

And I can see these are owned by libtinfo:

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libtinfo.so /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6
/usr/lib/libtinfo.so is owned by libtinfo 6-24
/usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6 is owned by libtinfo 6-24
This task depends upon
