[Bug 1285864] Re: Missing dependency: emacs does not pull any package providing /usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color
I can confirm that M-x xterm in emacs24 sets TERM to eterm-color when launched out of the box on Ubuntu 15.04. (In the regular terminal, it's simply xterm.) Whether this should be fixed in the packaging (make it not set eterm- color) or dependencies (pull in ncurses-term) is an open question, though. Inside xterm, e.g. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow dictionaries-common is a way to trigger the bug. With ncurses-term installed, I get a nice colorful ncurses dialog box; without it, dpkg-reconfigure aborts. Another obvious workaround is to specify a nongraphical Debconf front- end. sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline dpkg-reconfigure -plow dictionaries-common ** Changed in: emacs24 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285864 Title: Missing dependency: emacs does not pull any package providing /usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs24/+bug/1285864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As of the current Emacs sources, https://github.com/emacs- mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/term.el#L1472 contains (defvar term-term-name eterm-color so there really is an explicit setting in the upstream sources which hardcodes this.

Yes, I use graphical Emacs (I don't supply the -nw command line option). IIRC, when I last reproduced the bug (in a virtual machine) I started it via the command emacs from a terminal.

Replying to comment #2: this bug also occurs in a new installation of Ubuntu 15.04. Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 15.04 in Virtualbox, installed aptitude and emacs, and the only configuration I changed was the proxy (so I did not change anything that would change TERM). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285864 Title: Missing dependency: emacs does not pull any package providing /usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs24/+bug/1285864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: I tried to run dpkg-reconfigure inside emacs' terminal emulator - M-x term. It said: Unknown terminal: eterm-color Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. debconf: whiptail output the above errors, giving up! With Google, I found that '/usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color' is provided by ncurses-term. I installed it, solving the problem.

[Bug 1285864] Re: Missing dependency: emacs does not pull any package providing /usr/share/terminfo/e/eterm-color
I don't think there is anything in the standard install which would set TERM to eterm-color. Do you have personal initialization files which override the system TERM? How is Emacs connected to your display and keyboard (Unity, Gnome, bare Linux terminal ...?) (Tempted to set this to status: Incomplete but not able to verify on Ubuntu 13.10 at the moment.
