The last update for rxvt-unicode stripped it down to just the rxvt-unicode-terminfo subpackage, leaving the rxvt-unicode package empty with no files. This disruptive change was against EPEL policy. This new update restores the full rxvt-unicode package. It also updates the package to version 9.31 to match the version in EPEL 8, which correctly fixes CVE-2022-4170. It also introduces the libptytty dependency to EPEL 7.

Oh hey, abuse of provenpackager. So much for caring about policy, eh? :)
Quoting the actual policy:
Help was needed and I provided it. This improved the quality of EPEL, which is part of the Fedora project.
I performed the minimum changes necessary to undo your policy-breaking change. In no way, shape, or form was me resolving this issue an abuse of proven packager permissions. Next time, follow EPEL policy so I don't have to step in to clean up your mess.

Working well on CentOS-7. Put through its paces with a number of escape/control sequences, links, terminal games, etc. The TERM= change is annoying when SSH'ing to many systems, but perhaps necessary, can be overridden; not the fault of this package. Thanks
