You should install ncurses-term to get /usr/lib/terminfo/a/amiga

You should also NOT have the TERMCAP environment variable set. (it
should be absent) so also the TERMINFO variable should be unset, or
pointing to /usr/lib/terminfo

Also check if exist a terminfo (or .terminfo) in your home. 
I think you should not have one, unless you need to customize some
terminfo file.
