Description

I just tested the linux64 binary of the last release on Alpine Linux Vanilla, with st installed and TERM=st-256color. Micro complains with the error in the title. The workaround is setting TERM=xterm-256color before launching micro.

More details on #1077, where I thought it was an issue of outdated micro, but even with the newest release the error persists.

Research direction

Reproduce the linux64 release binary on Alpine Linux Vanilla with st installed and TERM=st-256color, then trace terminal initialization for the source of the “Terminal entry not found” error. Compare the behavior with TERM=xterm-256color and issue #1077; done means micro launches successfully with st-256color.
