run into this never ending loop at a tinderbox image and completely unsure who to blame : ms-magpie / # emerge @preserved-rebuild These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies .... done!

Not a duplicate. I'll update the ebuilds to add the necessary ncurses dependencies.
Since they don't bundle ncurses-5, I've added ncurses-5 dependencies to both packages: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=daf32442fc225d463ca522449c801c0c26d84e63 https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=4d2b16fc0660c87a741d065968519df1895bb6ee
The policy says we're supposed to do a revision bump for a dependency change like this. Then again, @preserved-rebuild should pull in ncurses-5 now, fixing the @preserved-rebuild loop.
