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.
