Bug 713846 – x11-terms/kitty-0.16.0-r2 missing dependency on x11-terms/kitty-terminfo

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Neil 2020-03-21 20:05:04 UTC]

Upgraded to x11-terms/kitty-0.16.0-r2 and tried to start emacs -nw (i.e. within the terminal and am informed...

emacs: Terminal type xterm-kitty is not defined.
If that is not the actual type of terminal you have,
use the Bourne shell command 'TERM=...; export TERM' (C-shell:
'setenv TERM ...') to specify the correct type.  It may be necessary
to do 'unset TERMINFO' (C-shell: 'unsetenv TERMINFO') as well.

This is under Bash but I get the same under ZSH.

Under both I currently have...

# echo $TERMINFO
/usr/lib64/kitty/terminfo

There was no terminfo under /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty and by chance I searched for terminfo with eix and found there is x11-terms/kitty-terminfo.  Emerged that I can now emacs -nw no problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =x11-term/kitty-0.16.0-r2
2. kitty
3. emacs -nw
Actual Results:  
emacs: Terminal type xterm-kitty is not defined.
If that is not the actual type of terminal you have,
use the Bourne shell command 'TERM=...; export TERM' (C-shell:
'setenv TERM ...') to specify the correct type.  It may be necessary
to do 'unset TERMINFO' (C-shell: 'unsetenv TERMINFO') as well.

Expected Results:  
Emacs should start in the terminal.

Tried a quick change in my local overlay, and added x11-terms/kitty-terminfo to RDEPENDS, diff from -r2 is...

# diff kitty-0.16.0-r3.ebuild /usr/portage/x11-terms/kitty/kitty-0.16.0-r2.ebuild 
39d38
< 	x11-terms/kitty-terminfo

Checked by unmerging kitty-terminfo and then emerge -uDN kitty and it pulls in x11-terms/kitty-terminfo, so seems an easy fix (unless I got it wrong and it should be under DEPEND rather than RDEPEND).
