Description Daniel Robbins 2015-10-08 17:13:35 UTC

The app-shells/bash and sys-devel/gettext ebuilds are missing properly slotted EAPI 5 deps that allow Portage to be away of major versions of libraries moving away underneath these packages.

Bash should have an ncurses (R)DEPEND like so: >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r2:0= . Readline should have a similar :0=.

Gettext depends on "sys-libs/ncurses". This should be sys-libs/ncurses:0=.

This will prevent emerge from unmerging and replacing ncurses-5 with ncurses-6 without rebuilding these packages.

Reproducible: Always

is there any specific reason that bash hasn't been fixed in the same way?  is it just a developer time issue or is there a reason not to fix it?
