Assigning with base on ChangeLog, please don't get mad if you don't want it :-)
Actually, better just add people who touched it in CC. Whomever fixes it, please add a metadata.xml.
Another compile error in Bug 89102.
emerging ncurses with +unicode use fixes this bug for me. I think the problem rise when you try to compile dev-util/dialog with +unicode but you haven't unicode support in ncurses.
Yes, reemerging ncurses with unicode solved the problem. Thanks. Then dialog should depend on ncurses with unicode (I don't know if it's possible already, it wasn't in the past).
it just depends on ncurses+unicode if you have the unicode flag set, but currently there is no way to depend on use flags
