It's a truly horrible translation with /negative/ added value. It seems to be written with no understanding at all about CL in general or GCL in particular, nor the terms used. It's also ungrammatical and un-idiomatic Swedish all over.

I think it's not a great solution to remove a feature just because people don't want /etc/termcap around, but I guess that is the way it works. (I don't know what you mean by "remove terminal hemlock", but disabling stuff just because there is no /etc/termcap in Debian would, I think, be a bit unnecessary; it does, after all, check $TERMCAP before it checks for /etc/termcap. I, personally, would probably just get a /etc/termcap from somewhere. On the other hand, I can also live without using packaged CMUCL.)

It parses /etc/termcap directly itself. It doesn't actually use any termcap library, AFAIK. I imagine there might be some way to hack around it by setting TERMCAP if terminfo/ncurses supplies any way to automatically generate it, that might be a possibility, in a wrapper script, if nothing else. If there is some other package that provides /etc/termcap, that'd work, of course. > It's also due to be removed shortly, which is why I filed this bug > (it's the only package in Debian which references it).

I'm fairly certain that Hemlock in terminal mode requires some sort of termcap compatibility. I don't know whether this is supplied by something else these days, but very few people seem to use Hemlock, so I thought I'd just mention it, in case Hemlock-in-terminal does not work without it, and people wonder what it's for.
