** Description changed: I tried to run dpkg-reconfigure inside emacs' terminal emulator - M-x term. It said: Unknown terminal: eterm-color Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. debconf: whiptail output the above errors, giving up! With Google, I found that '/usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color' is provided by ncurses-term. I installed it, solving the problem. So the package emacs24 (I have not checked other emacs versions) should 'recommend' (or at least 'suggest') ncurses-term (or another package that solves the problem. + UPDATE: This bug also occurs on a new installation of Ubuntu 15.04. + Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 15.04 in Virtualbox, installed aptitude and + emacs, and the only configuration I changed was the network proxy (so I + did not change anything that would change TERM). The bug occurred. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: emacs24 24.3+1-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-12.32-generic 3.13.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Feb 27 17:46:00 2014 MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: emacs24 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-11-02 (117 days ago)
