>Description:

Man page source for terminfo(5) (/usr/share/man/man5/terminfo.5.gz) is corrupt.  Looks to be 
missing table formatting elements like T{ starting around line 155 in the boolean capabilities 
table.

>How-To-Repeat:

man 5 terminfo

/usr/bin/tbl will produce errors before the man page is displayed:

/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded
/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded
