Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wy60

Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron

Wy60 currently does not depend on ncurses-term, which is rather odd
since wy60 comes with a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 and absolutely can
not emulate (work) without this dependency.

So, wy60 is essentially useless without ncurses-term installed.

For a workaround try:

sudo apt-get install ncurses-term

If that does not work, do this:
1) Download the Wyse60 Terminal Description File from Wyse's web site.
2) Export/Compile that file (search google for terminfo commands like infocmp 
and export, I don't know which one fixes the file but...)
3) Put the file in the correct directory for wy60, found by typing wy60 -c 
infocmp, if it tells you it could not find the file and shows you the folder it 
looked in, it's still broken. If it gives you garbage about Wy60: it's working.
3b) You may need to change the permissions on the folder, by using the terminal 
command
" sudo chown usernamehere (insert folder location here) " this will change the 
folder ownership/permissions
4) Try and try again.
