Upgrading to vte-0.27.1-1.fc15.x86_64 and then opening a new instance of my running gnome-terminal resulted in the following error:

*** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

This is because the running libvte is looking for /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm and the new libvte provides /usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm. This will affect any running applications using VTE over the upgrade. A backward compatibility symlink would avoid it.
