New issue by am11 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/14488

Description:
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System

* xuname:  

`Void 4.9.184-linuxkit x86_64-musl GenuineIntel uptodate rF`

* package:  

`bash-5.0.009_1`
`nano-4.4_1`

### Expected behavior

With `base-minimal` (voidlinux-musl docker e.g.), when we install bash or nano, these packages should install ncurses-base package for the software to function.

### Actual behavior

After some googling and figuring out, it appears that the `ncurses-base` (and more granually, what Alpine Linux ports calls `ncurses-terminfo-base`) package is the one which is missing.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

nano:

```sh
docker run -it voidlinux/voidlinux-musl

# inside the container
xbps-install -S
xbps-install -y nano

nano
# terminates with:
Error opening terminal: xterm.

# to fix the error
xbps-install ncurses-base

nano # it works!
```

bash:

```sh
docker run -it voidlinux/voidlinux-musl

# entered the container
xbps-install -S
xbps-install -y bash

bash
# entered bash

# type something and press ENTER
ls
# type something again and press ENTER
cd
# now press UP and UP, it looks like:
cdls
#instead of
ls

# similarly, back arrow key to navigate cursor does not move the caret.
# also, BACKSPACE renders spaces instead of erasing the character at caret.
# etc.

# to fix these issues
xbps-install ncurses-base

# exit and reenter bash to get the keybindings behave correctly
```
