Hello, I have a global "ncurses" flag and trying to get rid of slang in my system. Currently, I'm facing a problem. networkmanager[ncurses] pulls dev-libs/newt which pulls slang (and fails to build without it). ncurses is not required in the configure script: NetworkManager-1.30.4/configure.ac AC_ARG_WITH(nmtui, AS_HELP_STRING([--with-nmtui=yes|no], [Build nmtui])) if test "$with_nmtui" != no; then PKG_CHECK_MODULES(NEWT, [libnewt >= 0.52.15], [build_nmtui=yes], [build_nmtui=no]) else build_nmtui=no fi However, ncurses is mentioned in /m4/ax_lib_readline.m4: # prefer ncurses since we use it for nmtui too for termcap_lib in "" ncurses termcap curses; do if test -z "$termcap_lib"; then TRY_LIB="-l$readline_lib" else TRY_LIB="-l$readline_lib -l$termcap_lib" fi Could you investigate? "prefer" does not sound explicitly required. Perhaps, you can change it to nmtui or similar? Thank you.
