New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/26700#issuecomment-733920451 Comment: Arch and Alpine both do the opposite. The ncurses package provides these terminfo files. The alacritty packages in both decline to manually copy and compile the provided terminfo. The dvtm packages in both explicitly remove the terminfo after installation. I didn't bother looking at the other two. I'm ok with removing the specific terminfo packages, letting them pull in ncurses-term instead. I'm also okay with noextract rules in the individual packages because they don't require specific knowledge. It's just a way to say, "I don't care who provides these files, I take precedence so don't allow anybody else to overwrite these." Going the other direction, removing specific files from ncurses because we want to defer to the specific packages, requires too much special casing and distributed knowledge for my taste.
