hmm - yes. It's a shame about the termcap package - hasn't been maintained for
several years. That's using a file that was last updated in March 2000. I
added the gnome entry late in 1999 - shortly after ncurses 5.0.
Eric Raymond's file is mostly (aside from reordering the entries to assert
"creative" input, and changing the version number) a copy of the ncurses 5.0
file with less than 500 lines added. At best it's a nuisance.

See
ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/termcap.src.gz
for an authentic up-to-date termcap source.
(report bugs - but don't waste time with things that were fixed long
ago)
