I haven't analyzed all the details yet, but the problem appears to be that ncurses is configured with "--with-default-terminfo-dir=/etc/terminfo", and your misc/gen_edit.sh script changes the location of the tabset directory to /etc/tabset then. Any ideas?I could add another configure-script tweak to make the location of tabset explicit.That would be appreciated.
I just made a note (probably will resolve next week's patch).
Normally tabset's under the same directory root as terminfo; however it seems that Debian's providing for a mini-terminfo database.The bulk of the terminfo files are in the ncurses-term package, all under /usr/share/terminfo; ncurses-base only provides the most common ones, files under /lib/terminfo and symlinks to them under /usr/share/terminfo. The /etc/terminfo dir is reserved for local terminfo descriptions. Sven
