[Bug 280147] ~/.termcap ignored

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280147

            Bug ID: 280147
           Summary: ~/.termcap ignored
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ov2k@yahoo.com

~/.termcap is documented in termcap(5).  I use ~/.termcap to define terminals
that I use that are not present in the default /usr/share/misc/termcap.

In FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE, this worked as expected.  In FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE,
~/.termcap seems to be ignored.  The shell exhibits problems with navigation
keys and backspace, and less complains about the terminal not being fully
functional.  If I append the contents of ~/.termcap to /usr/share/misc/termcap,
things work as expected again.

Setting TERMPATH to $HOME/.termcap:/usr/share/misc/termcap is a workaround.
