AFAIRC, android-related things required that, for example.

This are bugs in the build system of the package which is not  
detecting the separate library. You should file a bug about it.


Is there a special requirement for building ncurses with tinfo? If  
not the easy fix is disabling the tinfo USE flag for ncurses.




Many thanks, Daniel.
I can't remember why I HAD TO add the tinfo USE flag to ncurses.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/457530 tracks all packages having the same problem.

[gentoo-user] ncurses / tinfo problem

2018-03-30 Thread Helmut Jarausch 

Hi,
there are several packages which fail to link since they are missing  
'-ltinfo' - recently

app-antivirus/clamav-0.99.4-r1

For a temporary fix I have edited the config.status file by changing

S["CURSES_LIBS"]="-lncurses"
to
S["CURSES_LIBS"]="-lncurses -ltinfo"

and using

ebuild /usr/portage/app-antivirus/clamav/clamav-0.99.4-r1.ebuild merge

But I think that this is a more general problem.

Has anybody found a fix which works for several such packages?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
