Bill: Change the summary to "dev-util/dialog-<x>.<y> fails to install" or something like that. Also provide `emerge info` please.

Subject: Bug 75807 dev-util/dialog fails

The error was that ncurses had to be reinstalled with an updated version.

Since I have reinstalled the system, I cannot give you the corrrect error message, however simply re-emerging ncurses removed all errors.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,

Bill Thompson
