This will affect not only perldoc, but probably a few other perl modules which use Tgetent from Term::Cap. > Niko mentioned on IRC: > "I'm guessing it's something to do with Term::Cap running infocmp -C", That was spot on. After the security fixes of 6.0+20170701, infocmp -C and infotocap produce broken output. See the attached files produced by "infocmp -C dumb" on stretch (which is correct) and on sid (which is incorrect). Note the extra colons before and after each "=" sign in the dumb.new file.
