[Bug 279170] /etc/termcap.db -> /usr/share/misc/termcap.db missing?

            Bug ID: 279170
           Summary: /etc/termcap.db -> /usr/share/misc/termcap.db missing?
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jamie@catflap.org

I was looking at a ktrace dump file recently (/bin/ls) and noticed that
during initialisation, it attempted to read /etc/termcap.db - as that
failed, it then read the text version pointed to by /etc/termcap

Adding a link: /etc/termcap.db -> /usr/share/misc/termcap.db

caused subsequent runs to use the termcap.db version.

Is there any reason why /etc/termcap is linked, whilst /etc/termcap.db
isn't? And if so, what's the purpose of /usr/share/misc/termcap.db ?

Cheers, Jamie
