hi all,

i have the following problem with the kitty terminal emulator:

----
15:43:39 bgohla@titanic ~ $ doas pkg_add hello
doas (bgo...@titanic.my.domain) password: 
failed termcap lookup on xterm-kitty at 
/usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/ProgressMeter/Term.pm line 113.
15:44:02 bgohla@titanic ~ $ echo $TERM
xterm-kitty
15:44:17 bgohla@titanic ~ $
----

it seems the problem is that there is no entry for xterm-kitty in
/etc/termcap. the above pkg_add invocation works when i set TERM=xterm .

i suppose one could just add a termcap entry that redirects to
xterm.

would this be a patch in the kitty port, or does this require a change
to the base system?

cheers,
björn
