Description Matthew Garrett 2010-11-15 14:54:24 UTC 
Upgrading to vte-0.27.1-1.fc15.x86_64 and then opening a new instance of my running gnome-terminal resulted in the following error:

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

This is because the running libvte is looking for /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm and the new libvte provides /usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm. This will affect any running applications using VTE over the upgrade. A backward compatibility symlink would avoid it.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Does this bug still happen? 

I've not seen this error... 

Can you re-open this if you still are seeing it?
