error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5 #1012

So, today a system update of my Arch Linux box ended in tears as stack is now giving me this error whenever I try to build anything.

$ stack build
Running /home/oldmanmike/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc --numeric-version exited with ExitFailure 127
/home/oldmanmike/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But I have libtinfo.so.5...

$ ls -l /usr/lib | grep libtinfo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       22 Sep 18 20:58 libtinfo.so -> /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

I've been able to reproduce this on two separate systems today, both running Arch Linux.

$ stack build --verbose
