As stated in my earlier message, I do have the following packages installed: ncurses-base 1.9.9e-1 ncurses-bin 1.9.9e-1 ncurses-term 1.9.9e-1 ncurses3.0 1.9.9e-1 ncurses3.0-dev 1.9.9e-1 I do have "/usr/lib/terminfo/a/amiga". But it is not listed in "/etc/terminfo/a" (here only "ansi" is present). > You should also NOT have the TERMCAP environment variable set.

Setting TERMINFO to /usr/lib/terminfo doesn't help either. So, IMHO, the Debian ncurses package is broken. > Also check if exist a terminfo (or .terminfo) in your home. > I think you should not have one, unless you need to customize some > terminfo file.
