when you use an unsupported terminal to ssh into dietpi it will prompt you about either installing ncurses-term or ignoring the issue, but if you choose to install ncurses-term it will fail because of no sudo permissions.

did you tried to login as root user?

haven't tried, i just ignored the prompt and manually installed the package

Makes sense that we try to do the installation with sudo, if not logging in as root user, or print a warning only.
