There's enough information to see the basic problem. What's lacking is for the package maintainer to follow the thread, ask questions if they don't follow it. The essential problem reported is that Ubuntu's customization to change kbs (presumably to change it from ^H to \177) did not work for the person who reported the problem. That can be because the screen entries did not contain that customization, or due to an error in one of the special terminfo entries (even a bug in screen ;-). ncurses's terminfo database contains some special entries which are interpreted by screen, e.g., these listed by toe: screen.xterm-xfree86 screen customized for modern xterm screen.xterm-r6 screen customized for X11R6 xterm screen.teraterm disable ncv in teraterm screen.rxvt screen in rxvt screen.Eterm screen in Eterm screen.linux screen in linux console screen.mlterm screen in mlterm That is, outside 'screen', if $TERM is "mlterm", for instance, it would use "screen.mlterm". Those entries work around various problems with screen's matching _exactly_ a given terminal entry. The followup should have been focused on first verifying what the terminfo entry inside 'screen' was, and what the special entry shows, to see if one of those displays the problem. If they're set properly, then (barring the reporter _wanting_ kbs=^H), then it should have been reassigned back to screen's maintainer to analyze. -- Thomas E.
