Calculating dependencies yielded 26 packages. I
looked in the ncurses ebuild and saw this:
DEPEND="gpm? ( sys-libs/gpm )"
Thats where the extra 25 packages came from.
Sometimes you need to build a package without all it's
dependecies (USE flags) in order to avoid circular
dependencies. Portage takes some getting used to (and
study) but it's definitely worth it.
