Use the --no-cowdancer-update as suggested at the end of your log file.
IMO this is not a bug in ncurses, libncurses6 and libtinfo6 are unpacked
in the same dpkg run and the former is not guaranteed to work with
different versions of the latter anyway. No essential programs depend
on libncurses6, so this is not usually a problem.
The only way to "solve" this from the ncurses side would be to merge
libncurses6 and libncursesw6 into libtinfo6, but then people will likely
complain about bloating their chroots.
Cheers,
Sven
