This means
- Installing bash tries to execute some bash script at %post
- To do so, (installed) bash binary needs libtinfo.so.5, 
 i.e. before bash is installed, ncurses-libs should have already
 been installed
- However in fact ncurses-libs is not installed at this time
 (for some reason),
 so trying to execute bash script on bash %post fails

Here I guess dependency loop is happening which leads to this
broken deps.... Actually:

bash -> ncurses-libs -> glibc -> glibc-common -> bash

There may be other dependency loops.
