ncurses-5.9-20110716.patch changes linux term to use SI/SO (use G1 charset) for selecting alternate character set; however, it kept acsc to use CP437 codes - it had a chance to work on non-unicode terminal only if G1 was mapped to CP437 map, which is not the default; the default for G1 is VT100 map, which works with VT100-specific acsc string - and that's what this patch changes. diff -urNp -x '*.orig' compat-ncurses5-5.9.20150117.org/misc/terminfo.src compat-ncurses5-5.9.20150117/misc/terminfo.src --- compat-ncurses5-5.9.20150117.org/misc/terminfo.src 2023-07-21 00:00:49.116051986 +0200 +++ compat-ncurses5-5.9.20150117/misc/terminfo.src 2023-07-21 00:00:50.115066314 +0200 @@ -1633,6 +1633,7 @@ linux2.2|linux 2.2.x console, # Further, this breaks longstanding workarounds for Linux console's line # drawing (see Debian 665959) -TD linux2.6|linux 2.6.x console, + acsc=++\,\,--..00``aaffgghhiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~, rmacs=^O, sgr=\E[0;10%?%p1%t;7%;%?%p2%t;4%;%?%p3%t;7%;%?%p4%t;5%;%?%p5%t;2%;%?%p6%t;1%;m%?%p9%t\016%e\017%;, sgr0=\E[m\017, smacs=^N, use=linux2.2,
