Bug#2398: ncurses: linux entry uses ich1



Package: ncurses-base
Version: 1.9.8a-4

The "linux" terminfo entry defines "ich1=\E[@". This terminfo
capability prevents elvis (ELF version using ncurses3) from
working correctly (it produces extra spaces in insert mode). If
there are no good reasons to keep "ich1" it should be removed.
The a.out elvis (which works correctly) uses the termcap "linux"
entry which does not define "ic" (same as "ich1" for terminfo).

If anyone wants to remove "ich1" just do the following:

infocmp >xxx

<remove "ich1=\E[@," from the file xxx>

tic xxx



Thanks,

Peter
