First, thanks for digging further into this.

I'm guessing that I am missing some of the developer pieces that
assisted you in deducing from

I started setup today and observed that the only "pending" actions
were a bunch of ncurses installs.
I clicked ok ( and enabled source just in case :-)  ) and watched the
action begin.

Uninstall libncurses-devel 6.0-11.20170617 (automatically added)
Uninstall libncursesw10 6.0-11.20170617 (automatically added)
Uninstall ncurses 6.0-11.20170617 (automatically added)
Install libncurses++w10 6.1-1.20190727
Install libncurses++w10-src 6.1-1.20190727 (source)
Install libncurses-devel 6.1-1.20190727
Install libncurses-devel-src 6.1-1.20190727 (source)
Install libncursesw10 6.1-1.20190727
Install libncursesw10-src 6.1-1.20190727 (source)
Install ncurses 6.1-1.20190727
Install ncurses-src 6.1-1.20190727 (source)

both bash and more worked
 ( e.g. bash starts and more doesn't stack dump in this simple case


c:\cygwin64>cd bin
c:\cygwin64\bin>path c:\cygwin64\bin;%PATH%
c:\cygwin64\bin>which which
/usr/bin/which

c:\cygwin64\bin>more < NUL

c:\cygwin64\bin>

looking back at the downgrade log I see

Uninstall libncursesw10 6.1-1.20190727 (automatically added)
Uninstall ncurses 6.1-1.20190727 (automatically added)

so I think that  I just upgraded to what I had before, not sure if
something was corrupted before.
I did search for ncurses in the cygcheck.out from before

$ ag -i ncurses cygcheck.out
1248:  301k 2019/07/28 c:\cygwin64\bin\cygncursesw-10.dll - os=4.0
img=0.0 sys=5.2

2132:ncurses                                 6.1-1.20190727                  OK
