The issue is reported at #229737.
Just rm -f /usr/lib*/libncurses.so.5, perhaps rerun /sbin/ldconfig
and things ought to be fine. Wonder if ncurses package should delete
this symlink in %post or something similar (though I believe it is just
older rawhide ncurses that would need such a fixup).
Yes, upgrading from FC6 ncurses is ok. It's possible to remove the
link in a post script in ncurses-devel package. But upgrade paths are
supported only since Test3, is that correct?
