Works for me:
$ infocmp stterm|head -5
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/s/stterm
stterm| Suckless Tools simple terminal,
am, bce, hs, mir, msgr, ul, xenl,
colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, ncv#3, pairs#64,
acsc=``aaffggiijjkkllmmnnooppqqrrssttuuvvwwxxyyzz{{||}}~~,
$ infocmp -D
/etc/terminfo
/lib/terminfo
/usr/share/terminfo
$ toe -as
--> /etc/terminfo
----> /lib/terminfo
------> /usr/share/terminfo
...
----*-: stterm Suckless Tools simple terminal
----*-: stterm-256color Suckless Tools simple terminal with 256 colors
----*-: stterm-meta Suckless Tools simple terminal with meta key
----*-: stterm-meta-256color Suckless Tools simple terminal with meta key
Since /usr/share/terminfo is the compiled-in system default, it's hard
to break that...

Title:
system-local terminfo does not search /usr/share/terminfo as README
says
Status in ncurses package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
The file /etc/terminfo/README says
This directory is for system-local terminfo descriptions. By default,
ncurses will search ${HOME}/.terminfo first, then /etc/terminfo (this
directory), then /lib/terminfo, and last not least /usr/share/terminfo.
but it seems that /usr/share/terminfo is not used or does not work as
expected?
Repro:
1) Install `stterm`
2) Start `stterm`
3) Type `clear`
Result:
terminals database is inaccessible
Expected result:
Screen is cleared
Workaround:
Symlink the terminfo database to a user-local ~/.terminfo
mkdir -p ~/.terminfo/s && ln -sf /usr/share/terminfo/s/stterm*
~/.terminfo/s
