Description Sergey Vlasov 2007-02-06 21:54:15 MSK 
emacs22-nox-22.0.93-alt0.22.pretest fails to start:

$ emacs22-nox
emacs: Cannot open termcap database file
$ emacs22-nox -q --no-site-file
emacs: Cannot open termcap database file

"emacs -nw" from packages with GUI support also does not start with the same
message.

$ rpmquery emacs22-nox
emacs22-nox-22.0.93-alt0.22.pretest
$ strace -qe open emacs22-nox
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/lib64/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/etc/termcap", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
emacs: Cannot open termcap database file
Comment 2 Eugene Vlasov 2007-02-07 02:53:58 MSK 
Это произошло из-за того, что я временно отказался от использования autoconf
(upstream повысил требования к autoconf до 2.61). В результате патч alt-system,
который, в частности, менял ncurses на tinfo в configure.in перестал работать.

Исправленная версия 22.0.93-alt0.23.pretest отправлена в i/S.
