Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2008-03-29 13:04:44 UTC 
I think that gpm doesn't fit in sys-libs section whose description is:
                The sys-libs category contains various system-level libraries.

Maybe sys-apps could be an option but its description says:
                The sys-apps category contains various core system applications, and
                some non-core system applications which have not yet been moved out into
                other sys- categories.

Then, maybe a better option would be simply move it to app-misc:
                The app-misc category contains various miscellaneous application
                packages which don't belong anywhere else.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

ncurses and other console/system packages link against gpm
