I recently put together a new debian box based on unstable. When I connect to my local server running debian stable using ssh in Eterm, the server complains when I run ncurses based applications such as emacs that there is no 'Eterm' TERM type. I hacked a solution quickly enough by creating a symlink /etc/terminfo/E/Eterm which pointed to /etc/terminfo/x/xterm.
This problem is new, and probably pops up with the latest version of Eterm (I have another box based on unstable that I haven't upgraded for at least a month that works fine) which exports a TERM that stable doesn't recognize. This seems like a resonable solution. Is there a better one? It doesn't smell like a bug, but should I report it against Eterm?
