Description dwfreed 2016-10-27 03:04:31 UTC 
sys-process/psmisc is missing a slot dependency on sys-libs/ncurses, so since the creation of the slot for binary packages that need libncurses.so.5, portage will attempt to pull in that slot, since it's got the best visible version in it.  It should probably also have a slot operator dependency, because pstree links against libncurses.

    sys-process/psmisc: Revbump to add sub-slot dependency for sys-libs/ncurses.

    This was requested in Gentoo bug #598166.
    Committed straight to stable where -r2 was stable as nothing changed except for
    the EAPI and the ncurses sub-slot dep.
