Description Michel Ganguin 2011-07-01 09:33:12 UTC

*** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

and this because the new vte installs termcap in a directory with version number:
/usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm

this workaround make it work again:
cd /usr/share/vte
ln -s termcap-0.0 termcap

I don't know if this symlink should be added with vte ebuild, or if gnome-terminal should be fixed.

Reproducible: Always
