Unfortunatelly, cap_mkdb (specifically cgetnext() from libc) interprets it just as one big comment, because "\" has bigger priority that "#", so "\" is applied before "#". It means that xterm-ic is not compiled into termcap.db database. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The first variant: Just remove "\" from the end of comment line: --- termcap.orig Tue Aug 12 15:32:35 2003 +++ termcap Wed Sep 17 17:44:33 2003 @@ -2996,7 +2996,7 @@ :tc=xterm-basic: # # vi may work better with this entry, because vi doesn't use insert mode much. -# |xterm-ic|xterm-vi|xterm with insert character instead of insert mode:\ +# |xterm-ic|xterm-vi|xterm with insert character instead of insert mode: xterm-ic|xterm-vi|xterm with insert char:\ :im@:ei@:mi@:ic=\E[@:IC=\E[%d@:tc=xterm: # The second variant: Remove all line, because I do not know why it is here: --- termcap.orig Tue Aug 12 15:32:35 2003 +++ termcap Wed Sep 17 17:45:06 2003 @@ -2996,7 +2996,6 @@ :tc=xterm-basic: # # vi may work better with this entry, because vi doesn't use insert mode much. -# |xterm-ic|xterm-vi|xterm with insert character instead of insert mode:\ xterm-ic|xterm-vi|xterm with insert char:\ :im@:ei@:mi@:ic=\E[@:IC=\E[%d@:tc=xterm: # Or the third possible fix - change the logic in src/lib/libc/gen/getcap.c.
