Possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in user's environment, causing bash
to become confused about which library to use. I seem to recall that
a Debian guideline for packaging says to not use the rpath feature
(which would prevent this problem). It is not a bug in ncurses, but
a problem with the user's environment or custom configuration.
As it is, there are a few possible solutions (by the user):
+ repair the environment (i.e., dropping
/usr/local/sage/local/lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
+ remove the conflicting library from /usr/local/sage/local/lib
