if sys-libs/libtermcap-compat is not installed, fenris complain during the emerge : [+] libreadline installed: no libtermcap or libtinfo, aegir will run in dumb mode! ********************************************************************** * The debugging shell for Fenris, aegir, will be compiled to run in * * the 'dumb terminal' mode, with no editing or history capabilities, * * because you apparently don't have usable libtermcap / libtinfo and * * libreadline libraries installed. Please fix this problem. * ********************************************************************* Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C sys-libs/libtermcap-compat 2. emerge fenris 3. fenris -W /tmp/fenris 4. aegir /tmp/fenris # in another terminal Actual Results: no command line history, pressing the left doesn't work as expected, ... Expected Results: sys-libs/libtermcap-compat should be a dependency of fenris Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-vanilla i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ SSH_ASKPASS="/usr/libexec/ssh-askpass" USE="x86 libg++ -3dfx -3dnow aalib acl -afs alsa -apm -arts -atlas avi berkdb -bonobo -canna cdr -cjk crypt cups dga directfb -doc dvd -encode esd -etheral -evo -ev6 fbcon -flash -freewnn gb gd gdbm ggi -ggz gif -gnome gphoto2 gpm -gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile -icc -icc-pgo -imap imlib -innodb ipv6 -java jikes jpeg -junit -kde -kerberos -lcms -ldap -leim -libg libgda libwww lirc matrox maildir -mbox -mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg -mule mysql -nas ncurses nls -nocardbus -oci8 -odbc oggvorbis opengl oss pam -pcmcia -pda pdflib perl -pic plotutils png -pnp -postgres python qt qtmt quicktime readline ruby -samba sasl scanner sdl slang -selinux slp -snmp -socks5 spell -sse ssl -static svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype -trusted usb -voodoo3 -wavelan -wmf X -xface -xml xml2 xmms xv -zeo zlib" FEATURES="sandbox ccache" LESS="-R" PORTAGE_GID="250" LESSOPEN="|lesspipe.sh %s" CVS_RSH="ssh" LOGNAME="root" USER="root" HOME="/root" PATH="~/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin" HISTSIZE="1000" MANHTMLPAGER="w3m" DISPLAY=":0.0" SSH_AGENT_PID="19391" INFOPATH="/usr/share/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/info" TERM="xterm" SHELL="/bin/zsh" XAUTHORITY="/root/.xauthViYClf" PORTAGE_CACHEDIR="/var/cache/edb/dep/" SHLVL="1" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PWD="/mnt/gentoo/home/pierre_b" QMAKESPEC="linux-g++" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" PRELINK_PATH="" MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/local/mozilla" MANPATH="/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/man:/usr/X11R6/man" IWATCH_PRUNE="/dev:/tmp:/proc:/usr/src:/mnt" CVSROOT="pierre_b@cvshost:/cvsroot" EDITOR="vim" INFODIR="/usr/share/info:/usr/X11R6/info" CC="gcc" MOZILLA_HOME="/usr/local/mozilla" SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/ssh-XX1dWpJr/agent.19368" ACCEPT_LICENSE="" PORTAGE_MASTER_PID="4773" PRELINK_PATH_MASK="" LESSCHARSET="latin1" XINITRC="/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" LOGCHECK="60" VIMRUNTIME="/usr/share/vim/vim61" _="/usr/bin/emerge" CXX="g++" PAGER="/usr/bin/less" OLDPWD="/mnt/gentoo/home/pierre_b/www" HOSTNAME="arioch.cyberpunk.arg" WATCH="all" SAVEHIST="1000" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb" EADNULLCMD="less" WATCHFMT="%n has %a %l from %M" SGML_CATALOG_FILES="/etc/sgml/sgml-ent.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat:/etc/sgml/openjade-1.3.1.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-4.1.cat:/etc/sgml/dsssl-docbook-stylesheets.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-4.0.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-lite.cat" MAIL="/var/spool/mail/root" LS_COLORS="no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:" QTDIR="/usr/qt/3" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mmmx" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mmmx" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/root/portage" ARCH="x86" COMPILER="gcc3" MAKEOPTS="-j2" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" RSYNC_TIMEOUT="180" AUTOCLEAN="yes" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" RSYNC_RETRIES="3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" CLEAN_DELAY="5" RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 --passive-ftp ${URI} -P ${DISTDIR}" RPMDIR="/usr/portage/rpm" FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 --passive-ftp ${URI} -P ${DISTDIR}" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" NOCOLOR="false" USE_ORDER="env:conf:auto:defaults" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp"
