I'm running ~x86 and ~amd64 and update daily so hopefully some of what I'll relate below won't apply to anyone else who doesn't do that. But first when I got ncurses-6.0 I then couldn't build ghc because the binary build tools were linked against ncurses-5.x (this has been fixed now.) At the time I could get around it by installing ncurses-5.0 as the ncurses:5 slot. Since then however ncurses:5 seems to give ncurses-6.0 and ncurses:0 is ncurses-6.1 (though I could be mistaken.) Anyway, ncurses-6.0 and ncurses-5.9 were coinstalled and happy together as you'd expect from a slotted package. However, yesterday there were problems with more ncurses changes and readline. Somehow the build of sys-libs/readline went awry and it produced a .so without some symbols needed by gawk and bc (or more likely, they needed to be rebuilt but couldn't be.) This prevented ncurses from being rebuilt since the build requires awk and prevented my kernel from being rebuilt because it requires bc. But readline couldn't be rebuilt because it required ncurses. I could be off on the actual interdependencies but bottom line is that I couldn't get out of the circular dependencies (and there were no use flags to turn then off.) Even trying to build with --nodeps didn't get me out of the hole. In the end I had to pull a gawk off a stage3 and /{lib,lib64}/libreadline.so.6.3 off other systems to get out of it. Hopefully that was all just because of running ~x86 and ~amd64 (I don't want to call it unstable because it's worked great for me for years and is very stable due to excellent work from Gentoo devs!) and my just catching things in flux. Presented here in case someone experiences readline/ncurses problems in the future unrelated to this original ncurses issue. Todd
[gentoo-user] What is the correct version of ncurses on ~amd64 now?
I ask this strange question because this (badly broken) machine once again flipped between 6.0 and 6.0-r1 after rsyncing this morning. First, it emerged 6.0, which turned out to be almost catastrophic because the qmerge phase of the emerge failed (although it claimed success afterwards) and deleted the entire /usr/share/terminfo subdirectory. That was fun, but I won't bore you with the details. (The ncurses-6.0 files in /lib64 are dated August 28, BTW.) Right now emerge tries to install ncurses-6.0-r1 but the 32-bit part of the build fails because emerge never ran make in the work/cross/progs directory, and so the 32-bit tools didn't get compiled. I hacked around this by running make in that directory manually, which allowed the ebuild install and ebuild package phases to succeed. Now I have an ncurses-6.0-r1 binary package available but I'm too scared to install it because I might need to kill myself afterwards :/ Any suggestions before I take the plunge? Is ncurses-6.0-r1 the right version as of today, Aug 31? Thanks.
