emerge autocleaned ncurses-6.0-r1. That was related to an old VLC ebuild in my overlay. Because sys-libs/ncurses-6.0 is only a "transitional package" no files are installed: joerg@bastellinux ~ $ equery f ncurses * Searching for ncurses ... * Contents of sys-libs/ncurses-6.0: joerg@bastellinux ~ $ Without a real ncurses installed, there is no tic program installed. The install phase of sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1 wants to build terminfo database even with USE="-tinfo" and needs the tic program for that. USE="minimal" does not help. So it is not possible to install sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1 without real ncurses installed.

ncurses-6.0-r1.ebuild has a check for installed ncurses. It seems this is confused by installed ncurses-6.0 transitional package. # When installing ncurses, we have to use a compatible version of tic. # This comes up when cross-compiling, doing multilib builds, upgrading, # or installing for the first time. Build a local copy of tic whenever # the host version isn't available. #249363 #557598 if ! ROOT=/ has_version "~sys-libs/${P}:0" ; then local lbuildflags="-static" The workaround was uninstall ncurses-6.0 transitional package.
That's really strange. "~sys-libs/${P}:0" should not match on sys-libs/ncurses-6.0:5/6. I added the ":0" to address exactly this issue.
if has_version is matching a SLOT it shouldn't, that's not a bug in the ebuild post the output of (assuming it's still broken on your system): qlist -ICvS ncurses
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #4) > if has_version is matching a SLOT it shouldn't, that's not a bug in the > ebuild > > post the output of (assuming it's still broken on your system): > qlist -ICvS ncurses My system is running fine now related to ncurses and I don't want to break it. ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1::gentoo was built with the following: USE="cxx gpm threads unicode -ada -debug -doc -minimal -profile -static-libs -test -tinfo -trace" ABI_X86="32 64 -x32" I think it was only an old VLC-9999 ebuild in my overlay that was not updated to the slot and broke the whole ncurses thing with its dependencies. If nobody else has still this bug then we can close it.
So I just ran into this on my dev box. It seems the problem is this: ** Building terminfo database, please wait... /bin/bash -c 'for name in *.pc; do /usr/lib/portage/python2.7/ebuild-helpers/xattr/install -c -m 644 $name /ramfs/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/image//usr/lib32/pkgconfig/$name; done' Running /ramfs/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/work/cross/progs/tic to install /ramfs/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/image//usr/share/terminfo ... You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX. These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled using tic -x If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL document, and install the terminfo without the -x option. ./run_tic.sh: line 140: /ramfs/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/work/cross/progs/tic: No such file or directory ? tic could not build /ramfs/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/image//usr/share/terminfo Makefile:90: recipe for target 'install.data' failed make[1]: *** [install.data] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... --- So where is 'tic'? # find /ramfs/ -name tic /ramfs/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/work/ncurses-6.0-abi_x86_64.amd64/ncursesw/progs/tic /ramfs/portage/sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1/work/ncurses-6.0-abi_x86_64.amd64/ncurses/progs/tic It seems 'run_tic.sh' is looking for '${WORKDIR}/cross/progs/tic' when it should really be using '${WORKDIR}/${MULTILIBDIR}/ncurses/progs/tic'. The presence of the transitional package seems to be confusing the multilib code somehow, causing ncurses (I think) to think it's being cross-compiled and it's not setting the paths up correctly.
please post the output of `qlist -ICvS` and attach a `emerge --debug` log of the ncurses build
Is https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560474 related or a dup?
