Hi:
I recently updated to the latest set of ncurses packages in my
(mostly) "frozen" debian system. When installation finished, my
system no longer understood "linux" or "rxvt" as terminal types!
A search showed that the directory /etc/terminfo had been
completely gutted -- all the old files had been removed -- and
one new file (xterm) had been added. The .list file for the
ncurses-base packages says that the "linux" and "rxvt" definitions
(among others) *should* have been installed, but they weren't.
I had to reconstruct them from the otherwise unused termcap file
from the termcap-compat package (glad I had it!).
Has anyone else seen this problem? Can anyone tell me what happened?
TIA.
