The session does still exist (tmux list-sessions).
Assume the terminal supports 256 colours? | Code: | $ tmux -2 attach
open terminal failed: missing or unsuitable terminal: xterm-256color |

Unfortunately the solution is to kill the tmux server, which of course kills the session.
The cause was apparently having upgraded ncurses | Code: | | >>> emerge (1 of 6) sys-libs/ncurses-6.1-r1 |
It'd be nice if emerge could warn if something running was likely break :)
I didn't find any related results, and hopefully I'll now remember to postpone upgrading if ncurses is on the list.

| I had the same problem (with the same solution), but I found a workaround is to just set $TERM to something without -256color in it. -88color worked. |

That's a certainly a better option if something "valuable" is in the session.

Thanks for the link. For whatever reason, didn't even occur to me that it was a bug.

I'm having this problem at the moment. I attach to my tmux session by TERM="xterm" tmux attach for now until I'm ready to terminate the session.

| It seems that after a reboot the issue vanished. |
