Package: ncurses-term Version: 5.7+20101128-1 Severity: normal Running rxvt-unicode 9.09, it comes up with TERM=rxvt-256color. terminfo has kbs=^H, which seems wrong, as C-v Backspace gives ^?. If I run rxvt 2.6.4 on the same system, it comes up with TERM=rxvt, and kbs=\177. Shouldn't rxvt-256color have the same kbs setting as rxvt?
(Tom Dickey advised this is a packaging bug, not an upstream ncurses bug; he wrote: well... All of the kbs stuff is done by the Debian packager. ) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers natty-updates APT policy: (500, 'natty-updates'), (500, 'natty-security'), (500, 'natty') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
