Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.7+20081213-1
Severity: normal
Reviewing Ubuntu #200773, which reports this problem,
I checked my Debian/testing and see that infocmp vt220 shows
if=/etc/tabset/vt100,
That directory does not exist.
True. I haven't analyzed all the details yet, but the problem appears
to be that ncurses is configured with
"--with-default-terminfo-dir=/etc/terminfo", and your misc/gen_edit.sh
script changes the location of the tabset directory to /etc/tabset then.
Any ideas?
I could add another configure-script tweak to make the location of
tabset explicit.
That would be appreciated.
I just made a note (probably will resolve next week's patch).
Normally tabset's under the same directory root as terminfo; however
it seems that Debian's providing for a mini-terminfo database.
The bulk of the terminfo files are in the ncurses-term package, all
under /usr/share/terminfo; ncurses-base only provides the most common
ones, files under /lib/terminfo and symlinks to them under
/usr/share/terminfo. The /etc/terminfo dir is reserved for local
terminfo descriptions.
