Title:
Missing dependency: emacs does not pull any package
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,
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. With that, I guess I agree that emacs24 should

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. Now I lost access to the virtual
machine (its host had a hardware problem).

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).

So you are running the GUI version of Emacs, running in Unity? You
start it from the Unity menu (emacs.desktop)?

** 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
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 ...?)
