is:

From the NEWS file:

** The Emacs terminal emulation in term.el uses a different terminfo name.
The Emacs terminal emulation in term.el now uses "eterm-color" as its
terminfo name, since term.el now supports color.

As the error message says, your system has no terminal description for
"eterm-color". You can either add it (using 'etc/termcap.src') or try
to set the environment variable TERM to something simple as "vt100" or
"vt220". Or maybe your system already has an entry for "eterm"? You
could simply use it in this case.
