Package has successfully emerged and can be used without issues. My sys-libs/ncurses version is 5.7 at date of writing. Tested with both with joe 3.5 and joe 3.7. Would be good to have a ~x86-fbsd keyword put in its ebuild ;-) Tested on a x86 system *only*. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Adjust your /etc/portage/package.keywords ton include app-editors/joe 2. emerge app-editors/joe 3.
