When I run `screen -d <session_id>`, I receive the following error:
```
Cannot find terminfo entry for ''.
```
This issue occurs across multiple devices on both Arch Linux and Ubuntu.
Screen version 4.9.1 works fine, but since upgrading to screen 5.0.0 on August
29, I can no longer detach from sessions.
I have tried various methods to resolve this without success. To troubleshoot,
I ran a clean Arch Linux Docker container and installed screen 4.9.1, which
worked correctly. However, after downloading the source package for screen
5.0.0 from [GNU FTP](https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/screen) and compiling it with
`make && make install`, the same error occurred. I then repeated the process
in a clean Ubuntu Docker container—version 4.9.1 installed via `apt` worked
fine, but compiling and installing version 5.0.0 led to the same issue.
I have tried to add `debug on` and `logfile` item in `~/.screenrc` file. The
logfile content as bellow:
```
sh-5.2# echo $STY
123.pts-1.a34d52a4f68e
sh-5.2# screen -d 123
Cannot find terminfo entry for ''.
```
This bug is causing significant inconvenience in my use of screen. Please
follow up on this issue, and feel free to contact me if you need any further
details.
Thanks & Regards,
Alex Lavigne
