I'm using tmux and and terminfo didn't want to support tmux and told people to use screen-256color. That worked fine till the update to terminfo-6.1-1.1.x86_64 asn:~ # mc Unknown terminal: screen-256color Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry. rpm -ql terminfo | grep screen-256color /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color-bce /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color-bce-s /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color-s
TERM=screen-256color-s mc Unknown terminal: screen-256color-s Check the TERM environment variable. Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database. Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired termcap entry.
Not a bug of ncurses but of slang as this library does not handle new 32bit format of ncurses 6.1 Run file /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen-256color* to identifiy the new format *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1079543 ***
