There was a recent discussion about a terminal database update and the new
Alternate Screen behavior. I'm curious about the resolution, but I can't
find that discussion. Would someone kindly send a clue-by-four via

Ultimately, I'd like to know how to get the old behavior back, with no
alternate screen, and thereby reduce my blood pressure.
Alternatively yours,
The replies you are receiving are interesting as none of them are right...
What has been done, it now ncurses from base reads both terminfo and termcap DB.
It is looking up for terminfo db from localbase as well.
Base only provides termcap (the old termcap definition, nothing new in there).
if one want the terminfo database which supports alternate screen definition,
he/shre can just pkg install terminfo-db.
But in March terminfo was being built and installed. Maybe he failed to
delete /usr/share/terminfo after the change. Or was simply not aware that
he had to do that.
Thanks for the help, everyone. Deleting /usr/share/terminfo fixed the
problem. (I don't have the terminfo-db package installed.)
Bapt, was this intentionally omitted from ObsoleteFiles.inc, or was that an
oversight?
Cheers,
Eric
It is in ObsoleteFiles.inc
# 20210318: remove the terminfo database
:facepalm: I was looking at the wrong branch. And I apparently forgot
to delete-old.
Thanks again for wasting your time on me.
Eric
