Title:
Missing dependency: emacs does not pull any package providing
/usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color
Status in emacs24 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in emacs24 package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I tried to run dpkg-reconfigure inside emacs' terminal emulator - M-x term.
It said:
Unknown terminal: eterm-color
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database.
Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry.
debconf: whiptail output the above errors, giving up!
With Google, I found that '/usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color' is provided by
ncurses-term. I installed it, solving the problem.
So the package emacs24 (I have not checked other emacs versions) should
'recommend' (or at least 'suggest') ncurses-term (or another package that
solves the problem.
UPDATE: This bug also occurs on a new installation of Ubuntu 15.04.
Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 15.04 in Virtualbox, installed aptitude
and emacs, and the only configuration I changed was the network proxy
(so I did not change anything that would change TERM). The bug
occurred.
