(If no one knows how to do that, a copy of the "/usr/share/misc/termcap" file would suffice)
Grab the system sources via cvsup, and do a 'make world' cycle as described here:

and here

That will reinstall the contents of /usr/share along with all of the rest of the system -- sure, it's a sledge hammer, but it will crack this nut very effectively. Nb. you should always compile a new kernel to go with the new system -- having kernel and world out of synch tends to cause a number of oddities of behaviour in the system.

Lo! A large hammer indeed.
Might not he simply changeth to /usr/src/share (if he indeed hath such) and typest "make install" as root?
