Bug#466983: perl-modules: Term::Cap does not work due to missing termcap
Package: perl-modules
Version: 5.8.8-12
Severity: normal
The oneliner below does not work. It surely worked some weeks ago:
$ perl -MTerm::Cap -e 'my $terminal = Tgetent Term::Cap { TERM = undef, OSPEED
= 9600 };'
Can't find a valid termcap file at -e line 1
Obviously /etc/termcap or a similar file is missing.
Regards,
Slaven

Since Debian doesn't ship /etc/termcap, the Term::Cap module kludges
one up with 'infocmp -C'.
Have you upgraded/removed ncurses-bin recently? What does this produce?
infocmp -C

infocmp -C
$ infocmp -C
infocmp: symbol lookup error: infocmp: undefined symbol: _nc_disable_period
After upgrading using aptitude install ncurses-bin:
$ infocmp -C
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /lib/terminfo/x/xterm
xterm|X11 terminal emulator:\
... etc ...
and Term::Cap seems to work again. Thanks!
