Hi all,
In ubuntu, when i do screen -x in a term/ansi-term i have an error
message telling me there is no info about eterm-color in terminfo.
Indeed, the symlink
/lib/terminfo/E/Eterm <=> /lib/terminfo/e/eterm-color
doesn't exists, only /lib/terminfo/E/Eterm-color exists.
Creating this symlink manually fix the problem.
However, would be great on one side or/and the other this be fixed.
I mean on emacs side an alias Eterm-color <=> eterm-color,
and/or on ubuntu side the symlink created by default.
Thanks.

Such a symlink would be wrong, since Eterm-color with capital E has
nothing to do with the Emacs terminal, but belongs to the terminal
emulator of <http://eterm.org/>.
In fact, eterm-color has made it into the ncurses patchset at
<ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.7/> in 2008 already.
Is Ubuntu distributing a vanilla 5.7 version?

Ah ok, thanks.

I found the package ncurses-term.
It add all the missing definitions
of terms in /usr/share/terminfo.(with eterm-color too)
That's fix the problem in Emacs with term/ansi-term.
Thanks for this info ulm.
