seems rpm (or our packaging?) sucks again, it "forgot" to run ldconfig 
*again* when updating ncurses:

these are recently upgrade packages:

Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 lz4-libs-r131-4.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 nagios-plugin-check_poldek-0.8-4.noarch
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 ncurses-6.0.20151128-1.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 ncurses-ext-6.0.20151128-1.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 procps-3.3.11-1.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 psmisc-22.21-1.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 python-2.7.11-1.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 python-libs-2.7.11-1.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 python-modules-2.7.11-1.x86_64
Thu Mar 31 12:45:19 2016 systemd-libs-221-13.x86_64

i do not have output of the upgrade because it was automated upgrade, 
but ldconfig is present in ncurses package post and postun!

but it's serious, because hosts became inaccessilble due that:

-bash: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.6: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory
Connection to georg closed.

unless you have user whose login shell is not /bin/bash.

and it has happened on a lot of hosts here.
