Description:

I tried to run top through ssh on my Archlinux server and I got this error : 'rxvt-unicode': unknown terminal type.

Steps to reproduce:

Run top on a webserver, using rxvt-unicode on the client.

Suggested fix:

I fixed it by copying my local /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode file to the webserver using scp. I couldn't just install a package, because this file belongs to the rxvt-unicode package and there's no way I'd install it on a webserver.

I think this file (and maybe others for other xterms) should be moved to another package, like ncurses (it's the case for xterm).
This task depends upon

urxvt*termName: xterm
in $HOME/.Xdefaults will also do the trick.
