Issue with new(ish) aaa_terminfo package in -current and konsole?

I've noticed that for a week or so the dialog for slackpkg 2.83.0/slackpkg+ 1.7.0 looks like the attached image. I'm doing this in konsole an otherwise up-to-date slackware-current system.

Obviously it's still usable like this, but it's ugly and at any rate probably shouldn't be happening.

I finally got some time to play with it today, and I started by looking through the -current changelog to see any likely culprits. I noticed that on August 5, upgraded aaa_terminfo and ncurses packages were put out, so I started there.

Removing the new aaa_terminfo and replacing it with the version from 14.2 seems to fix it for now, and I can blacklist aaa_terminfo so slackpkg doesn't replace it, but I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and/or has thoughts on what I might be able to do to not have to keep an old package version installed.
