There are a couple ways to see what files are contained in what
packages. Unfortunately, I only know one, but it works for me :)

Point your favorite browser to here:

  http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

scroll down to the "Search the Contents of the Latest Release"
search engine and enter the offending file name into the box and hit
Search. For libtermcap.so.2, I got:


  lib/libtermcap.so.2        oldlibs/termcap-compat
  lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8    oldlibs/termcap-compat

Check if you have the termcap-compat package installed.
