Re: Error ncurses [resolved]

What version of bash do you have?  The Arch bash packages link to the wide character versions of this library so there should not be a problem with the non-wide character library being missing.

The non-wide character libraries are back in ncurses-5.7-2.  But again, this should only be needed for binary blobs.

That should work.  I think a "pacman -Syu" should have been fine.  If you want to do it in steps, then "pacman -Sy bash ncurses readline" followed by "pacman -Syu" should be good.

Re: Error ncurses [resolved]

Are you enabling the [testing] repo for your first update?  I would update first using the stable repos and the try [testing] once your system is going.
