Bug#755055: wide character support

[Manuel Hachtkemper]

Package: libcurses-ui-perl
Version: 0.9609-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

it would be nice to have wide character support for libcurses-ui-perl.  There's
a patch for that feature/bug
( https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=94539 ), but the original
author seems to be inactive, so it probably won't be fixed upstream.

Other people also requested wide character support in the past:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=56695 .

Best regards,
Manuel Hachtkemper

PS: The Curses:UI package in pkgsrc has already adopted this feature.
