Well, What I know is.
Is a default of Fedora and seems to me that ncurses becomes better.
In fact builds libtinfo.so which will be use (when exist) in some others
packages, one of them is dialog.
I can't say nothing more for sure , but packages use libtinfo.so if they
exist by default, so probably will work better if lib exist.
