Running tmate on alpine:latest - open terminal failed: can't find terminfo database

[Hen Amar]

Running the following set of command:

docker run -it alpine:latest

In the container running:
wget https://github.com/tmate-io/tmate/releases/download/2.4.0/tmate-2.4.0-static-linux-amd64.tar.xz ; tar -xvf tmate-2.4.0-static-linux-amd64.tar.xz ; cd tmate-2.4.0-static-linux-amd64/ ; ./tmate

will bring the following error:
open terminal failed: can't find terminfo database

Tried to change $TERM based on tmux/tmux#743

Changing from alpine:latest to ubuntu:latest works.
