net-misc/dropbox installs /opt/dropbox/_curses.so which links directly to libncurses.so.5. # lddtree /opt/dropbox/_curses.so _curses.so => /opt/dropbox/_curses.so (interpreter => none) libncurses.so.5 => /lib64/libncurses.so.5 libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 # There should either be a direct dependency on something like sys-libs/ncurses-5*, or this file should not be installed (if it's not really needed). I actually only noticed the dependency today when upgrading to ncurses-6 and I see emerge preserving the old ncurses libs for dropbox: !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: sys-libs/ncurses-6.0 * - /lib64/libncurses.so.5 * - /lib64/libncurses.so.5.9 * used by /opt/dropbox/_curses.so (net-misc/dropbox-3.6.8) Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries
Same pb on my host in same conditions (ncurses update to 6.0). emerge @preserved-rebuild report the pb, re-install dropbox and re-report the pb: >>> package: sys-libs/ncurses-6.0 * - /lib64/libncurses.so.5 * - /lib64/libncurses.so.5.9 * used by /opt/dropbox/_curses.so (net-misc/dropbox-3.6.8)
@base-system, this means we need libcurses:5.9 library-only slot (like libpng:1.5 and openssl:0.9.8) for use by closed-source dependencies.

Created attachment 409530 [details] First attempt at ebuild for :5.9 slot Here's my first attempt at a workable ebuild. I attempted to remove all the options that do not apply to shared libraries, and just build/install the shared libraries that would have been installed in the 5.9-r4 ebuild, as they were installed.

That's my version. I tried to stay as close as possible to the old ebuild. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ercpe/lh-overlay/master/sys-libs/ncurses/ncurses-5.9-r104.ebuild
Any news about this issue? Thanks in advance.
@base-system, tomorrow I will slot-move ncurses to SLOT=0 and add the ebuild for SLOT=5 with the binary compatibility libs.
there is no 5.9 ABI, just 5 had to fix some pypy deps first: http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=f8eefe5a5c77d8c5cc6aa74297d6d245abf003fa then the slot move for the versions in the tree to 0: http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=051ad88caa127419c80d473021ab8909a2268789

(In reply to Justin Lecher from comment #9) sure it does. just pick a non-matching atom.

(In reply to Justin Lecher from comment #12) well that version is half baked. please wait next time for an actual review. http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=8cc8ae51e676d082f5c785a7463e54773cf96714
