running ancient belkin UPS software, previously working on etch.

in bash tried:

set TERM=rxvt
export TERM=rxvt

No error number so it can't find the terminfo.

in such situation i 'export TERM=xterm' although I use unicode rxvt.

There are some missing links in Squeeze which I have now supplied. I used to use export in Etch and Lenny but that stopped working in Squeeze.

The following will get rxvt terminal going.

mkdir -p /usr/share/terminfo/r

cd /usr/share/terminfo/r

ln -s /lib/terminfo/r/rxvt rxvt
