Bug 56981

Summary:	man terminfo(5) from libncurses does not display correctly
Product:	Documentation	Reporter:	Rudolf Čejka <cejkar>

Status:	Closed FIXED

Description Rudolf Čejka 2003-09-18 15:00:32 UTC

	If I do "man terminfo" on FreeBSD 5.1, /usr/bin/tbl produces
	many errors:

	Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/tbl:
		<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded
	/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded
	/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `YB-G-' discarded
	...

	The resulting table with capabilities names and descriptions
	on the page is then almost unreadable. It is much better in 4.x.

This is because our contrib/ncurses is out-of-date. We still use 
ncurses 5.2 while 5.4 is the most recent version (and where the 
problem is fixed according to the ncurses maintainer, T.Dickey). 
So what is needed is an import of 5.4.

Over to Peter Wemm, who has imported ncurses in the past. 
Peter, could you please have a look at this?
