[Bug 140011] Re: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

[Robert Grønning]

Currently, termcap is symlinked with termcap-0.0 (I didn't touch anything)
root@torgerde:/usr/share/vte# ls -l /usr/share/vte/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   11 Dec 12 20:05 termcap -> termcap-0.0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 22 09:40 termcap-0.0

But I still get the following errormessage when opening terminal, and my arrows 
do not work.
*** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

This happened after apt upgraded today, so the culprit should be in the
attached aptitude.log

[Stefano Rivera]

This was because dpkg won't replace a directory with a symlink. Debian
fixed it in 1:0.28.1-2. We should merge that for precise, and do some
SRUs to natty and oneiric.

This is because the running libvte is looking for
/usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm and the new libvte provides
/usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm. This will affect any running
applications using VTE over the upgrade. A backward compatibility

[lucifurious]

Extremely annoying.

Just to provide more info for others with this issue...

1. Ctrl-M and Ctrl-J will "ENTER" your commands.
2. Arrow keys do not work

Add this symlink to correct the issue temporarily:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm

I also confirms that creating this soft link gets this error sorted. I
got this error immediately after upgrading to the Natty today.

sudo ln -s /usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm

Thanks for updating with this with the useful info.

Affect all running applications after upgrade. This solution was
mentioned in redhat-bugzilla:

This is because the running libvte is looking for /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm
and the new libvte provides /usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm. This will affect
any running applications using VTE over the upgrade. A backward compatibility

[Aigars Mahinovs]

It is also a bit more than just annoying. On my computer during natty
upgrade my gnome-terminal did not have the enter key, so effectively it
was non-functional until I added the simlink. If the upgrade were to
break for some reason, I would have a system with an non-functional
teminal.
