I have been having DEL/delete/backspace problems, the cause of which I
have traced to the following bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319554
In summary, version 5.5-5 of libncurses5 (and libncurses5-dev) is
installed on this system, it has an incorrect terminfo entry

In fact, this problem comes from screen. If I type
TERM=xterm scre
value "xterm" is fine except that the "enacs" capability
isn't defined, so that, as with gnome-terminal, "tput enacs" returns
an error. Since xfce4-terminal really supports the ACS, one should
choose a terminfo entry that has the "enacs" capability def

I built emacs from sources today. A very recent beta of emacs-21.
I used no special flags with ./configure since emacs has quite a smart
configure and make setup. Just ran it like:
./configure
make

There were no build errors or even

Hi!
The export, or 'set' in this case term variable works.
However, I modifed the .login file as you suggested
set TERMINFO=~/.terminfo, but it still doesn't recognize xterm-debian
when I login. :(. Any ideas? The shell is csh.

Hi:
I recently updated to the latest set of ncurses packages in my

Hi,
after upgrading ncurses-base to 1.9.9g-5 the handling off
backspace has been reverted to Delete. Using the old entry fixes this, but
I'd like to know why the file was changed in the first place. Anything

Hi,
My newly installed Debian system doesn't seem to recognize less

(export TERM=amiga) is not present.
Does this have something to do with the fact that in "/etc/terminfo"
only "ansi" is present? Howev

Hello, I was wondering why debian's terminfo doesnt display the differnces
between char chars ^B, ^_ or combinations. For example with redhat or
slackware ^B == BOLD, which is true with debian as well. However ^_ with
redhat and slackware is == Cyan, and ^B+^_ is == bright cyan. With debian
