I installed rxvt-unicode-X and rxvt-unicode-common.
The postinstall script has run, /etc/termcap has been updated.
/usr/share/terminfo as well:

> /usr/share/terminfo/72
> /usr/share/terminfo/72/rxvt-unicode
> /usr/share/terminfo/72/rxvt-unicode256

However I get "unknown terminal type" messages:

setting TERM to xterm works.
Does anyone know why TERM=rxvt-unicode won't work?
