'NCURSES6_TINFO_6.4.current' not found - how can I get that?

I am trying to run tmux, but that's failing due to ncurses:

/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6: version `NCURSES6_TINFO_6.4.current' not found (required by tmux)

I guess it doesn't help that it was JUST updated here: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/ncurses/

so maybe something broke. How can I fix this?

What does `pacman -Qi ncurses` show?

That's the old version, it's broken because tmux requires the new version. Update your entire system again.

I did several times before and there was no new version available. I did now, and lo and behold the right version is available. Now it works. Thanks. Maybe it took some time to get mirrored?
