Alternatively yours, The replies you are receiving are interesting as none of them are right... What has been done, it now ncurses from base reads both terminfo and termcap DB. It is looking up for terminfo db from localbase as well.

But in March terminfo was being built and installed. Maybe he failed to delete /usr/share/terminfo after the change. Or was simply not aware that he had to do that. Thanks for the help, everyone. Deleting /usr/share/terminfo fixed the problem. (I don't have the terminfo-db package installed.) Bapt, was this intentionally omitted from ObsoleteFiles.inc, or was that an oversight?
