Description Zoltan Kelemen 2012-05-07 08:54:40 UTC 
When GNU screen is selected for inclusion in Buildroot, none of its terminal files (screen*) are installed.

The problem is due to the Buildroot screen makefile only using the "install-bin" target of screen, which is a subset of the full installation target called "install".

A fix could be to change screen.mk in Buildroot to use "install". Another fix could be to export the screen terminfo file(s) from the staging area in the build of ncurses.
