I ask this strange question because this (badly broken) machine once |
2 |
again flipped between 6.0 and 6.0-r1 after rsyncing this morning. |
3 |
|
4 |
First, it emerged 6.0, which turned out to be almost catastrophic |
5 |
because the qmerge phase of the emerge failed (although it claimed |
6 |
success afterwards) and deleted the entire /usr/share/terminfo |
7 |
subdirectory. That was fun, but I won't bore you with the details. |
8 |
(The ncurses-6.0 files in /lib64 are dated August 28, BTW.) |

Right now emerge tries to install ncurses-6.0-r1 but the 32-bit part of |
11 |
the build fails because emerge never ran make in the work/cross/progs |
12 |
directory, and so the 32-bit tools didn't get compiled. |
13 |
|
14 |
I hacked around this by running make in that directory manually, which |
15 |
allowed the ebuild install and ebuild package phases to succeed. |
16 |
|
17 |
Now I have an ncurses-6.0-r1 binary package available but I'm too scared |
18 |
to install it because I might need to kill myself afterwards :/ |

Any suggestions before I take the plunge? Is ncurses-6.0-r1 the right |
21 |
version as of today, Aug 31? |
