Hi,

Dwarf fortress likely trying to open an ncurses that is gone. Try rebuilding it (dwarf fortress). `revdep-rebuild` is supposed to pick up instances like this.

Dwarf Fortress is closed source, so you can't just rebuild it.

What you need is sys-libs/ncurses:5 which provides the earlier version of ncurses that is parallel installable with the latest.

ebuild seems to only have sys-libs/ncurses[unicode] DEPEND. If it really requires ncurses:5, a bug report should be opened
