Have you checked that the file that this links to
(/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8) exists?

Sometimes a package sets up symlinks in it's configation scripts,
instead of including those links as a part of the package.  When the
package is removed, the links are left beghind.  

This is, as I understand it, a "bug" in the package.  It is certainly an
undersireable behavior.
