Description:
In Jan 2017, I did a system upgrade. I noticed that a variety of backend functions in emacs started to dump they following into various buffers such as emails in mu4e and a variety of grep/rgrep interfaces. tput: terminal attributes: No such device or address As this is apparently an ncurses related method, I suspect it may have something to do with ncurses. From looking at the ncurses change log, it looks like tput was modified on 2017/01/21: "remove a restriction in tput's support for termcap names which omitted capabilities normally not shown in termcap translations" This problem seems to be affecting a number of different users. Here are the related issues I have found. - https://github.com/boldpoker/edeliver/issues/188 - https://github.com/boldpoker/edeliver/issues/196 - https://github.com/rmarquis/pacaur/issues/655 - https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-02/msg00502.html Additional info: * nucrses 6.0+20170128-1 * emacs 25.1-4 * zsh 5.3.1-2 Steps to reproduce: Install the latest ncurses. If mu is configured with mu4e, the error message will appear at the top of every email opened and will subsequently be part of outgoing emails. Similarly attempting to use any commands such as grep/rgrep will produce the same error message in the output buffer. The use cases for the other bug reports may be informative too. |
