After upgrading from Fedora Core 36 to 37 I noticed that tput sgr0 0 has started reporting errors for root, but not for other users.
root$ tput -V
ncurses 6.2.20201017
root$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color
root$ tput sgr0 0
tput: unknown terminfo capability '0'
I realize that I must have added the last 0 in my script by mistake and that it should simply be tput sgr0 - but for some reason this output only shows up when running as root and it didn't show up in FC36 so I got curious about it. It doesn't matter if I use bash or tcsh - same thing.
root has the same TERM as my normal users for whom this output doesn't show up. The characters printed prior to, and after, the sgr0 0 sequence is also the same for all users (including root). It's a ~ before and a space after.
Can someone explain what's going on?
