Hi,
So I know because of the ncurses update, packages broke for some people with the error
ar: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
.
My problem is slightly different, I seem to be getting this error when *building* AUR packages. For example, cairo-compmgr-git, libtermkey-bzr and probably others.
I've reinstalled all of their dependencies and makedependencies. This is independent of yaourt because it happens if I manually go into the src directory and build the package.
I don't want to just symlink the libraries, any ideas?

It works for me. Can you download the source directory (you can do it with makepkg -G <package>) and do a makepkg in the directory? What's the exact error you get (give some context). The error you mention is normally when a binary programs cannot find its libraries.
Updated. I agree with WorMzy that symlinking the libraries is a bad idea. If you are really desperate you can create a directory say $HOME/ugly_hack; making symlinks in $HOME/ugly_hack and then launch your program with a script that put $HOME/ugly_hack in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. All the wrong doing will be limited to your new program. symlinking incompatible libraries can break a lot of things, but proceeding this way you at least don't break things system-wide. Note that this is a last resort trick, surely not a proper way to fix a problem.

Good, don't do that.

Turned out to be llvm-svn for me, thanks!
