Title:
  ncurses in cosmic breaks running many Mono apps from terminal

Status in mono:
  Fix Released
Status in mono package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mono package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  Many mono apps don't run in Ubuntu 18.10 when run from a terminal. Although mono apps aren't as popular or as well-maintained as they used to be, this is still bad.

  Also mono fails to build in Ubuntu 18.10.

  Test Case
  ---------
  Install the updated mono packages.
  Install pdfmod.
  From gnome-terminal, run
  $ pdfmod
  The app should start.

  Regression Potential
  -------------------
  This is a cherry-picked commit (from a newer mono version) that was applied in Debian in May.

  Other Info
  ----------
  I noticed this while working on pdfmod for LP: #1771025 . The only app listed there that runs before this fix in cosmic is bareftp.

  See the Debian and upstream bugs for more info.

  I believe Ubuntu's default bashrc sets xterm-256color but Debian's
  doesn't.
