Upstream status: Patch accepted for inclusion in next release
Description: With ncurses 5.4 or later, it is necessary to have the
correct LC_CTYPE setting before calling initscr(). Otherwise, the line
drawing characters and boxes are not visible on Linux console in UTF-8 mode,
and that makes alsamixer totally unusable on such terminal.
