This package is based on the package 'newt' from project 'network:telephony'.

Newt is a programming library for color text-mode widget-based user interfaces. Newt can be used to add stacked windows, entry widgets,
check boxes, radio buttons, labels, plain text fields, scrollbars, etc., to text mode user interfaces.

This package also contains the shared library needed by programs built with newt, as well as a Dialog replacement called whiptail.
