I think and I'd like to suggest that the terminfo package should also 
update the file /etc/termcap in order to maintain consistent references 
to terminal capabilities. (The desired entries can easily be generated 
automatically with infocmp -Cr .)
/etc/termcap currently contains buggy entries that cause interworking 
problems. For a description, please see 
 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163715


Another note: There is a dangling link
 /usr/share/terminfo/terminfo -> ../share/terminfo

Kind regards,
Thomas Wolff
