(Hoping this isn't a "man" bug.)

This command:
    (unset PAGER; /usr/bin/man 5 terminfo)
produces VERY many error message starting with:

/usr/bin/tbl:<standard input>:155: excess data entry `-' discarded

 See 80871.  It's been fixed in a later version of terminfo, but that 
 might also imply bringing in a later version of ncurses.  There may be a 
 reason not to do that; don't know.

Duplicate of docs/80871.  It sounds like the correct solution is to 
update the imported version of ncurses and associated code.
