All of these errors are something in the .NET Runtime blowing up while parsing your TermInfo database.

Do any .NET applications run on your host? I'd expect any that read the TermInfo (so any that use console coloration, etc) to blow up in the same way. I suspect this may need transferred to dotnet/runtime for triage by the BCL libraries team.

[qizh]

Do any .NET applications run on your host?

@baronfel, none that I know about. I'm new to .NET and already quitting.

• How can I check it?
• In case I find and kill all .NET apps running, would it make the uninstaller work?
  • I believe the uninstaller suppose to do such things on its own or come with an optional script doing it.

Update

• Just in case I've tried the osx-x64 version of the uninstaller

• Tried list with the same result:

  ➜  dotnet-core-uninstall-osx-x64 ./dotnet-core-uninstall list

[baronfel]

Can you try the command ./dotnet-core-uninstall remove 10.0.100 --sdk please? I'm wondering if the error could be in the dotnet-core-uninstall app in one of the error message format strings, and those are being triggered when you use invalid command syntax.

[lextm]

It's weird to see an exception thrown from there. But you might try a GUI version of this tool to uninstall, which won't go through Syste.Console namespaces.

I would bet it's this. When I try on windows with the previous command I get You must specify exactly one of: --aspnet-runtime, --hosting-bundle, --runtime, --sdk.. Perhaps there's some parsing issue there that for some reason only affects mac or arm64.
