Hi...
I'm getting the error Terminal must backspace. when trying to run
Slash'EM (a Nethack-derived game). I'm not sure what's gotten broken,
but if I copy over the termcap and termcap.db from a 4.6-STABLE machine
(of mid-August), it works again. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Wait, maybe I was too fast and there is a solution. Looking at the xterm FAQ,

Our /etc/termcap now has all the entries from the XFree86 xterm

If you used TERM=xterm-color in the past you now should use

We don't need to pay, if entries will be _really_ corrected instead of

IMHO, it has been corrected, and was incorrect before.
I mean, corrected for ACS characters (pseudo-graphics), which are correct
before. Read complains above.
I believe that these are fixed by not using an incorrect termtype (e.g.
'xterm-color', which refers to another terminal type

Hi Jens,
I just updated to the latest -current and my TERM=xterm-color applications

Mutt shows this when I start vi as my editor or run fetchmail:
TERMCAP, line 0, terminal 'xterm-color': enter_alt_charset_mode but no acs_chars
My centericq window ends up
Dear all,
