Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I wonder if this might be a duplicate of bug 1651161, but I'm confused since the title says hostname-terminal-app, while the description says ubuntu-terminal-app.

rsplib-legacy-wrapper is a package with deprecated wrapper scripts, particularly one with name "terminal". The program names had been updated (e.g. to "rspterminal") a long, long time ago. rsplib-legacy-wrapper should therefore just be removed.

I created updated packages in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/%7Edreibh/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=rsplib&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter= .
