Bugzilla Bug 96235

dev-util/dialog-1.0.20050206 fails to build with USE=unicode, while looking  
for ncursesw. This is on a clean system (just installed yesterday).  
  
checking for initscr in -lncursesw... no  
checking for -lncursesw in /usr/local/lib... no  
checking for -lncursesw in /usr/lib... no  
configure: error: Cannot link ncursesw library  
 
This stops alsa-utils from building on a clean system. 
 
(Work around is to do 'USE=-unicode emerge -v --oneshot dialog' when 
alsa-utils build fails.) 
  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE=unicode emerge -v dialog 
2. 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
Failed as shown 

Expected Results:  
Missing package should be listed as dependency.
