Description Matthias Buelow 2003-02-25 17:30:07 UTC

(FreeBSD 5.0-p2)
When TERM=xterm, the nethack program, as built from <ports>/games/nethack
just exits with:

$ nethack
Terminal must backspace.

This seems to be a problem in the termcap/info entry for "xterm"
(proper capability missing?).  It did not occur on FreeBSD 4.7.

Fix: 

Workaround: set TERM=vt220 for problematic programs.
How-To-Repeat: See above.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Fixed in the current version of the games/freebsd-games port 
and in rev 1.139 of termcap.src.
