That's probably the reason. If it doesn't use ncurses, then it probably

In the course of doing a complete reinstall from scratch, I discovered a set of
circular symlinks in terminfo-5.2-2.tar.bz2. As distributed,
/usr/share/terminfo/n/nxterm is a symlink to ../x/xterm-color which is a
symlink to ../n/nxterm. This can be verified by running
tar -tvjf terminfo-5.2-2
