Title:
  urxvt missing rxvt-256color terminfo (or dependency)

Status in “rxvt-unicode” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rxvt-unicode

  The urxvt application (provided by rxvt-unicode package) now defaults
  the TERM environment variable to "rxvt-256color", but there is no
  rxvt-256color terminfo file provided by default.  There is an xterm-
  256color terminfo entry, and manually setting TERM to this entry seems
  to work, but the defaults are incorrect.

  Steps to reproduce (from fresh install):

  1. Install rxvt-unicode package
  2. execute "urxvt"
  3. In the new terminal window that opens, execute "echo $TERM".  This displays "rxvt-256color".
  4. Attempt to display a man page (e.g., "man urxvt").  Terminal displays "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional"

  Thanks!
