Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

Run under fbterm
"terminal entry not found"

There is a terminfo entry on my machine, since other apps run on it, and tput works.
micro also works on the linux console, so should work on fbterm as well.

Thanks,

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Ubuntu 18.04 under fbterm and compare it with tput and micro, which reportedly work there. Trace the terminal-entry lookup that produces “terminal entry not found”; done means micro starts and operates under fbterm without regressing other terminal environments.
