New description:
{{{
root at blabli ~ $ port upgrade ncursesw
---> Activating ncursesw 5.7_0

}}}
When upgrading all outdated packages, an error occurs with ncursesw
activation. ncurses is not compiling through afterwards because of the
depencency on ncursesw... and any other package that dependes on ncurses i
guess!
Deleting the aa4080 file (or any other file that is shown in the error
description) does not help.

Comment:
{{{/opt/local/share/terminfo/a/aa4080}}} should be owned by the ncursesw
port, so I'm not sure why port said the file didn't belong to a port. To
fix this just force the ncursesw activation with {{{sudo port -f activate
ncursesw @5.7_0}}}.
