I've had this bug on IRC.
It appears that the cause is an old ncurses still being around but not
known by sorcery. The fix is to add ncurses at your old version (5.4)
in /var/state/sorcery/packages and cast -c ncurses. No idea what causes
this status though: ncurses being marked as dispelled but not removed.

So Far,
