Description:
Hi,

During a fresh install today I encountered an issue while installing dvtm. The error says some files already exist on the filesystem. The files involved are the following:

/usr/share/terminfo/d/dvtm
/usr/share/terminfo/d/dvtm-256color

After quick investigation, it seems the files are owned by ncurses. I'm not sure this is a bug related to ncurses or dvtm, but from what I understand I'd say they seem to belong to dvtm, so they should not be with ncurses.

Best regards.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
dvtm-0.15-2
ncurse-6.0+20170128-1

* config and/or log files etc.
following packages were installed beforehand :
archlinux-keyring base wget os-prober bash yaourt grub sudo gptfdisk efibootmgr lvm2 device-mapper btrfs-progs net-tools

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S ncurses # actually installed with bash
pacman -S dvtm
pacman -Qo /usr/share/terminfo/d/dvtm

I can confirm this, I am in the same situation.

Terminfo belongs to ncurses, not the terminal. Dvtm should be fixed.
