Subject: hidden dependences on termcap.
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2004 16:48:16 -0400
I did an emerge -p depclean and saw that  libtermcap-compat had no
dependents. After unmerging it, I noticed that mplayer was nonfunctional
because of it's broken linkange to libtermcap. When I re-emerged
mplayer, it worked fine.

I ran ldd on /bin/* /usr/bin/* and grep'd for termcap, finding that
wdiff was also linked to termcap. I tested that it actually didn't work
and then that it did work after I re-emerge it.

I think that this is a bug of sorts. I think that termcap needs to be
added as a use flag for those programs, or removed from their configure
scripts.
