Bug#611826: libvte9: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

[Tony Houghton]

Package: libvte9
Version: 1:0.27.4-1
Severity: important


With this version of vte each terminal opened in gnome-terminal or
roxterm starts with the error message:

*** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

and keys such as Return don't work. There is no '/etc/termcap' on my
system.

I noticed that the Debian patches affect the termcap path so I reported
the bug here instead of upstream.
