Bug#631815: gnome-terminal: Fails to execute anything after upgrade to v3.0.1-1

[Kai-Martin Knaak]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrade to version 3.0.1-1 gnome terminal fails to execute any command.
There is a prompt, and typed in commands are echoed like they should. Menus do 
work as expected. However, there is no reaction at all to the [return] key. 
This makes the gnome-terminal unusable.

In the first line of the terminal window there is an error message:
 *** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'
