Package: ncurses-base Version: 6.1+20180210-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer!
I regularly connect (via mosh) to remote machine from my desktop and reattach to a "screen" there. For some time now, screen on the remote machine reports Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm-256color'. and quits. After some searching around the web and finding out that export TERM=xterm-color before connecting to the remote machine helps, but not liking that workaround, I tried moving /lib/terminfo/x/xterm-256color aside and adding a symling xterm-256color -> xterm-color. This made the above misbehaviour disappear. I therefore guess the problem is not /lib/terminfo/x/xterm-256color not being found, but it being broken somehow, but I lack knowledge to investigate further. Some more package versions: screen 4.6.2-1+b1 libtinfo6 6.1+20180210-4 ncurses-term 6.1+20180210-4 If there's any further questions or test steps to try, I'll happily help.
