Hi I just did an emerge sync and now I can't do an emerge -u world, since the dialog package complains about amissing libncursesw. I really do have only a libncurses. Which package should the missing library be in ? I even tried a emerge -u -D world, same result. I do not use the ~amd64 keyword on this machine. I'm thankfull for any help Kind regards Joseph Wenninger Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Marius make sense to you? Joseph please attach the compile error(s) text.

Reemerge ncurses with unicode support and let us know whether the problem persists. Before you do that however, you might consider creating a binary package of ncurses before you do that (qpkg ncurses). I completely messed my system when once recompiled ncurses without unicode support The libncursesw is the wide-character library, and thus related to unicode. The different way to solve this is to emerge dialog without unicode-support
don't you mean quickpkg and not qpkg?
Uhm... yes, quickpkg ncurses ;)
Hi Thanks. Reemerging ncurses helped. Though I had the unicode flag set from the beginning on that system, but looks like I have been mistaken. Would be nice if the portage system would recognize use flag changes and resolve them by itself though, although I guess that could be complicated and in some cases not desired
Uh oh, I have bug #75927. Together with this bug = bad news.

Do you have installed ncurses with unicode support? Can you entered ls -l /lib/libncurses* and post there? If you have ncurses with unicode support you have output like this: devil@gentoo ~ $ ls -l /lib/libncurses* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Окт 19 00:46 /lib/libncurses.so -> /lib/libncursesw.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Окт 19 00:46 /lib/libncurses.so.5 -> /lib/libncursesw.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Окт 19 00:46 /lib/libncurses.so.5.4 -> /lib/libncursesw.so.5.4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Окт 19 00:46 /lib/libncursesw.so -> libncursesw.so.5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Окт 19 00:46 /lib/libncursesw.so.5 -> libncursesw.so.5.4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 299780 Окт 19 00:45 /lib/libncursesw.so.5.4
this one seems to be fixed, onyl 75927 is remaining
