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.
