Description Patrik Kullman 2004-12-29 02:13:29 UTC

After merging coreutils on a desktop (creating a package) and then merging the package on a server, all bins from the package failed on libncurses because it had been merged on a computer with ncurses installed.

Don't know if this was introduced in coreutils-5.2.1-r2 or before.

All coreutils-5.2.1 ebuilds I have on my machine depend on ncurses in both DEPEND and RDEPEND

like Stian said, we force ncurses in DEPEND now

things like ls use it to get terminal information
