It's been fixed in a later version of terminfo, but that might also imply bringing in a later version of ncurses. There may be a reason not to do that; don't know. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA State Changed From-To: open->closed Duplicate of docs/80871. It sounds like the correct solution is to update the imported version of ncurses and associated code. |
(Hoping this isn't a "man" bug.) This command: (unset PAGER; /usr/bin/man 5 terminfo) produces VERY many error message starting with: /usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded Fix: Maybe get newer version from vender (FSF). How-To-Repeat: n/a
