Thanks. From the link you posted, I eventually found a response by Judd:

You can ignore the "error while loading shared libraries" error during the upgrade though. It is not fatal and only occurs when readline or ncurses is updated.

Re: ncurses: error when upgrading

why does everyone complain about this message when there are no problems?  next big program I make, I'm gonna make sure it randomly outputs "fatal error while attempting to access ftp" for no reason and see if i get a similar response...

Re: ncurses: error when upgrading

Error messages and warnings are a sufficiently rare occurence under Arch Linux that anybody can take alarm...
