ncurses (old) has cygncurses5.dll.
ncurses (new) does not.
libncurses has cygncurses5.dll.

So if you install *both* ncurses (old) and libncurses, you have a file
conflict.

Avoiding that conflict was the goal of your specific order during the
upgrade process.

The inappropriate .dll deletion was a symptom that occured when the
conflict occured.

Setup should be able to handle that, and delay installing the libncurses
package until the upgrade to the new ncurses had been done, and then
retry the libncurses package to see if the conflict went away.
