When invoked with the -C flag to convert terminfo sources to the termcap format, tic converts "%%" to "%%%". Because both termcap and terminfo use "%%" as an escape for a single "%", I think this is incorrect. This happens to the tvi921 terminal definition, for example.
will fix (thanks).
I fixed this (one-liner) in my 20040828 patch.
Nalin, i would appreciate if you could try if the bug is really fixed in new version, so i can either close the bug or go figuring my way around it...
It's in ncurses 5.5 anyway (perhaps Nalin will respond someday).
Oops, yes, 5.5 appears to be doing the right thing here, thanks! Leaving open because we haven't got 5.5 in Raw Hide yet.
I will upgrade and test ncurses this week.
Created attachment 122562 [details] ncurses-5.5-10.src.rpm Fixed in current release. Sorry, I am too late.
