Bug Description
Binary package hint: xterm
The TERM environment variable not set, which creates some difficulty. I use Guake as my standard virtual shell, but the same thing happens in Gnome Terminal.
If I run $ export TERM=xterm everything works like a charm again, but it is frustrating having to do this at each new session and it would certainly be a issue for beginners.
I got this bug both on my laptop running latest Maverick and my server, also running Maverick. Both installed Beta 4.

It's more likely to be a problem with your shell environment than xterm.
