I recently installed ncurses-5.5 from pkgsrc into the /usr/pkg prefix. I also have a base ncurses-5.3 installed under /usr which several programs including vim use. I recently noticed odd behavior in vim and discovered vim had switched to using the ncurses library from pkgsrc. Various oddities like backspace acting like delete under certain circumstances occured. I tried moving /usr/pkg/share/terminfo out of the way and replacing it with a symlink to /usr/share/terminfo which is the terminfo for the base system and the oddities seemed to have gone away. What makes the terminfo for pkgsrc ncurses different than the base system? -- Loren M.
