Hi,
I've already asked this, and I'm sure someone must be having the
same problem...
No matter how I set the backspace in X11, it won't work under rxvt +
some ncurses program, for example, pine. At some point the entry in
/etc/terminfo/r/rxvt was changed, and the backspace stopped working. The
change isn't documented in the Debian changelog, it just says "Munged
rxvt entry a bit more", and also makes reference to an update to the
terminfo database...
xterm does work, and infocmp says:
comparing rxvt to xterm.
comparing booleans.
comparing numbers.
colors: -1:8.
pairs: -1:64.
comparing strings.
hpa: NULL, '\E[%i%p1%dG'.
kend: '\E[4~', '\E[F'.
khome: '\E[1~', '\E[H'.
kmous: NULL, '\E[M'.
vpa: NULL, '\E[%i%p1%dd'.
I don't see anything relevant here. There are far more differences
between the entry that worked and the one that doesn't.
I have:
ii ncurses-base 1.9.9g-6
ii rxvt 2.20-8
The only thing I see that may be relevant is that xterm does use
libncurses and rxvt doesn't. I don't think rxvt is broken... it worked
before... the problem is, I don't know before what. Also, I don't want
to blindy move the old entry over the new one, because I see there are
other differences between them and some of them are indeed good.
Thank you very much in advance (I mean it, this is getting annoying)
