Package: network-manager
Version: 1.56.0-5
Severity: normal
After an 'apt upgrade' on unstable, I'm suddenly unable to use nmtui anymore.
Somehow it seems absent from the network-manager package, and there's no
separate sub-package either. This rendered me pretty helpless as I was unable
to connect to a wireless network again until I read up the manpage of nmcli and
managed to issue the related commands. I've never used any other management UI
for NetworkManager than nmtui, nor do I have any desire to do so.
Has it been deprecated? I couldn't find any related information in a quick web
search.

From the package changelog:
network-manager (1.56.0-4) experimental; urgency=medium
* Split off nmtui into network-manager-tui.
To further reduce shlibs dependencies of the main network-manager (i.e.
getting rid of libnewt) and to reduce the on-disk footprint, split off
the nmtui binary into a separate package named network-manager-tui.
