Hm, ok, sorry about that then. Not a gentoo user myself. I only checked
with
podman run --rm -ti gentoo bash
and looked at /etc/terminfo (doesn't exist) and /usr/share/terminfo (has
all the files, including those "basic" ones). And based on that I
assumed gentoo had dropped this at some point in the last 15 years.
