I think and I'd like to suggest that the terminfo package should also
update the file /etc/termcap in order to maintain consistent references
to terminal capabilities. (The desired entries can easily be generated
automatically with infocmp -Cr .)
/etc/termcap currently contains buggy entries that cause interworking
problems. For a description, please see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163715
Another note: There is a dangling link
/usr/share/terminfo/terminfo -> ../share/terminfo
Kind regards,
Thomas Wolff
