The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      5807
Logged by:          Gabe Nell
Email address:      g...@kikini.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.0.2
Operating system:   Linux Ubuntu 10.04
Description:        psql fails to launch with "Cannot read termcap database;
using dumb terminal settings. Aborted"
Details: 

I am seeing this on fresh installs of Ubuntu 10.04 using the binary
installer downloaded from EnterpriseDB:

sudo ./postgresql-9.0.2-1-linux.bin --mode unattended --superpassword
mypassword

Launching psql fails:

ubu...@host:~$ /opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/psql -Upostgres
Password for user postgres: 
psql (9.0.2)
Type "help" for help.

Cannot read termcap database;
using dumb terminal settings.
Aborted
ubu...@host:~$ 

The above works fine with 9.0.1, suggesting this is a new issue in 9.0.2. I
tried both 32bit and 64bit, same problem. Interestingly, the problem doesn't
repro under byobu (Ubuntu's enhanced 'screen' utility).
