Bug 370365 – Upgrading to vte 0.28 breaks the Xfce terminal emulator

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Andrew John Hughes 2011-06-07 00:44:22 UTC]

Post-upgrade, a new terminal displays 'Can not read /etc/termcap' and the return key doesn't work in that terminal.

Reverting to 0.26 fixes the issue.

Reproducible: Always

You need to kill all existing terminal instances after updating
