[SOLVED]missing terminfo entry rxvt-unicode-256color

i've installed rxvt-unicode-patched 9.18-3 from aur. first i could not open any terminal because of missing rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo entry in /usr/share/terminfo/r. i fixed this by adding URxvt*termName: rxvt-256color into .Xresources, but as far as i understand, this is not the right thing to do.
what should i do?

What is the output of `pacman -Qi rxvt-unicode-terminfo`?

The missing file belongs to that package - so it seems that package is somehow broken on your system.  I'd reinstall that one.

i've reinstalled terminfo as u suggested and now there are entries for rxvt-unicode-256color. so there should be no need for the URxvt*termName entry in .Xresources?
