Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2013-12-01 03:50:00 UTC 
ncurses apps like editors, browsers, graphical mixers require terminal
database to control the output. Without it they just don't know how to
move cursor position, change text/background color, delete lines,
scroll, etc.

Fedora 10 uses only terminfo(5) database format so /etc/termcap is
left unused.

Fix: new rpms can be obtained in the official fedora archive e.g.,
https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/Packages/ncurses-base-5.6-20.20080927.fc10.i386.rpm
How-To-Repeat: $ /compat/linux/usr/bin/info
info: Terminal type `xterm' is not smart enough to run Info.

- < jbeich> Please, close ports/184404. I didn't realise there's a separate port: ncurses-libs is part of emulators/linux_base-f10 but ncurses-base is part of devel/linux-f10-ncurses-base.
