Description cristiano04 2017-04-27 14:55:46 UTC 
dev-lang/ghc-8.0.2 needs sys-libs/ncurses:5 to install or it fails.

Reproducible: Always

Can you provide your (failed) build log, just in case it helps? Thanks!

It won't help. It's literally complaining about how it doesn't exist. Installing ncurses:5 fixes it.

I still don't understand nature of you failure.

Is it a ghc build failure?
Or a ghc runtime failure to build some other package?

Please note: ghc-8.0.2 binary is built against ncurses-6 and it does
not need/does not link against libtinfo.so.5. ghc-8.0.2 ebuild also
depends on ncurses-6.

Please provide a build log that shows how failure happens for you
so I would understand what does not work for you.

Thanks!

Build failure during install phase. Complains about what I said.

Unfortunately I can't do much without 'build.log' file.
