*** Bug 125601 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Teach me to search before submitting a bug. I will include my summary for my other bug as I think it may (or may not) help: When emerging bsd-games, the make script fails when it finds that /usr/share/dict/words (used for boggle) does not exist. This makes me believe that either bsd-games is missing a dependancy. The other option I believe (but am less sure about because of my unfamiliarity with cracklib) is that cracklib is supposed to provide this dictionary. I am using the ~amd64 cracklib so I am not sure about the stable one but this version of cracklib provides a /usr/share/dict/cracklib-small file which appears to be a dictionary that allows bsd-games to compile if a 'words' symlink is made. I am not sure what package is actually supposed to provide the /usr/share/dict/words file but I don't have it and it is not being brought in as a dependancy.

Actually, for me, making the symlink let it emerge but later, once I tried playing boggle, it crashed and did nothing. So really all the symlink did was say there was a file there and let the emerge continue. It really doesn't 'fix' anything. What I am wondering really is what provides words.
Created attachment 81993 [details, diff] Fix for ebuild I found the problem, there is a missing dependency (sys-apps/miscfiles). Here is a patch for the ebuild.
fixed in portage. thanks for the bug report and patch.
