 Posted: Mon May 19, 2025 6:56 pm Post subject: Accidentally unmerged ncurses and now I can't reinstall it |
 |
|
(Sorry if this topic is really long)
I accidentally uninstalled ncurses because of a circular dependencies error (I unfortunately can't remember how I first got it):
| Code: |
Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 812 KiB
* Error: circular dependencies:
(sys-libs/gpm-1.20.7-r6:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(sys-libs/ncurses-6.5_p20250125:0/6::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime_slot_op)
(sys-libs/gpm-1.20.7-r6:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying the following change:
- sys-libs/ncurses-6.5_p20250125 (Change USE: -gpm)
|
I didn't know what to do so I decided to unmerge then remerge ncurses. When trying to emerge ncurses again (with the "-gpm" USE flag), I keep getting this error:
| Code: | ** Building terminfo database, please wait...

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.

I believe this is because ncurses also uses tic, so it is no longer on my system. I can't find a package for tic and there in no binary for ncurses. Emerge still works for other packages i've installed. Here is some extra information emerge asked to provide:

Thank you so much for helping me, I pretty ne to gentoo and I'm finding the gentoo documentation and forums much more friendly than arch.  |

Welcome to the forums.
You should never use emerge --unmerge package unless you can explain why emerge --depclean package is wrong to refuse to remove it. I think in this case, emerge --depclean would have refused to remove ncurses.
You have a non-Portage-managed install of tic in /usr/local/bin, which is now broken by the removal of ncurses, and which the ncurses build is wrongly trying to use. You should not have anything in /usr/local at this time. Move tic aside, and retry the ncurses emerge.
You have a surprisingly large number of overlays enabled for a new user. Many people go a long time with few or no overlays. Using so many overlays may complicate your life. |

If you need help with Hu's advice, just ask.

Thank you so much for your quick reply, should I completely delete /usr/local/ or is there a way to stop portage looking there? |

This doesn't seem to be working, I still get the same message:

Is it possible that gpm is a required dependency? |

Can you post full output of command USE="-gpm" emerge -pv sys-libs/ncurses?

You shouldn't have anything there, so there shouldn't be anything to delete. However, since you do have things there, I recommend not categorically removing everything, because we don't know how much would be affected by a bulk removal. Instead, remove the one known bad file (tic), and show us the output of find /usr/local -ls so that we can see what else you have put there. |

Thank you so much for your quick reply, should I completely delete /usr/local/ or is there a way to stop portage looking there? |
You shouldn't have anything there, so there shouldn't be anything to delete. However, since you do have things there, I recommend not categorically removing everything, because we don't know how much would be affected by a bulk removal. Instead, remove the one known bad file (tic), and show us the output of find /usr/local -ls so that we can see what else you have put there. |
I remember why there stuff in there, I read somewhere that you could use a stage3 file and use a binary in there to fix it. I checked in the directory and it seems like that was the only thing in there so I've removed /usr/local/ (not as root) so there is still some extra stuff in there. Here is the output:

And does the USE="-gpm" emerge -1a sys-libs/ncurses www-client/w3m command work?

please?

One oddity I can see it there is no EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS set and yet the output looks like emerge has -t switch passed to it without it explicitly being set.
There's something odd with this system.
What's the shell you're using, how do you elevate to root, what's the output of env command?
I also see you have the binhost set up, why are you not using it?
Best Regards,
Georgi |

I don't know what binhost is and I don't recall setting it up.
Thank you very much,

Sudo has been the culprit of numerous problems in the past, I don't know about fish but I would be suspicious if I were you. Portage depends on bashto run properly. Also what's in your .local/bin directory? It's in the path and if there are binaries that are usually in the system bin directory, they'll be chosen over the system ones which can cause quite a mess.
Start a new root bash session with clean environment and try again.
Binhost is short for binary packages host. You can perform installations from binary packages using it. In your emerge --info, just after overlays there's a binhost configuration. To use it you only need to add -g to portage switches.
With binary packages you should be able to bypass such dependency conflicts as they are build time dependencies and binary packages don't need them as they are already built. It's also in orders of magnitude faster as you don't need to compile locally.
Here's more information:

Note that there still are issues with your system I pointed out above.
