Fails on emerge.

Here's the business bit:

To be honest I cannot remove gpm for testing from my box easily:

  # sudo emerge --depclean sys-libs/gpm
  Calculating dependencies... done!
    sys-libs/gpm-1.20.7-r2 pulled in by:
      app-misc/mc-4.8.10 requires sys-libs/gpm
      sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r3 requires sys-libs/gpm[abi_x86_64(-)], sys-libs/gpm
      www-client/w3m-0.5.3-r3 requires >=sys-libs/gpm-1.19.3-r5

Is my understanding correct that

 - you have use flag "aalib" enabled for Gimp 2.8.6 and that

 - installing sys-libs/gpm solves the link error for you ?

In that case I could adjust

  aalib? ( media-libs/aalib )

to

  aalib? ( media-libs/aalib sys-libs/gpm )

in the dependencies for you.  Looking forward to your feedback.

Grepping for gpm does not result in any matches from gimp.  Daring to close as obsolete.
