Public bug reported: To reproduce, try running 'partimage' in Eterm. The workaround they gave me in #e was to unset LANG. I discovered, though, that the ncurses-base package installs a terminfo file (/lib/terminfo/E/Eterm) that causes this. Eterm ships with Eterm.ti, though, which compiles into a terminfo file that doesn't have this problem. It wants to install it as /etc/terminfo/E/Eterm, which would solve the problem, as /etc/terminfo gets looked at before /lib/terminfo. It seems this was the case in dapper (I have an /etc/terminfo/E/Eterm on my dapper box) but is not the case in Edgy (where there's a new upstream release and some changes in the packaging).
