Bug#983578: stterm: defaul variable for TERM didn't appear to work by default
I still can't reproduce the issue. Can you do so on a fresh Debian system? I am prone to think that there's something off on the system where you're hitting it, otherwise we'd be seeing many more bug reports about it.

Bug#983578: stterm: defaul variable for TERM didn't appear to work by default
Control: tags -1 + moreinfo Hello Richard and thanks for this bug report. The st-256color terminfo file is installed by the ncurses-term package, which is a dependency of stterm: $ dpkg -L ncurses-term|grep st-256color /usr/share/terminfo/s/st-256color so it should really be there. Did perhaps the problem happen running htop on a remote system (via ssh) while using the st terminal? In this case the problem is that the terminfo file is missing on the remote system (missing or outdated terminfo package). Forcing TERM=xterm-256color is a workaround that may work, but it's not a proper solution to be shipped by default, as the two terminfo entries do differ.
