What do you mean broken layout?

woh, that's not what I expected, this means you had the whiptail (non
utf8) package installed, and it was trying to link with the utf8 slang
package, not good. There may still be a bug here, how about:
# apt-get install whiptail -q
Then do :
$ objdump --private-headers /usr/bin/whiptail | grep slang
NEEDED libslang.so.1
$
That is what you should see, and everything should still work, but if
you see:
NEEDED libslang.so.1-UTF8
after installing the non-utf8 whiptail then we still have a bug
somewhere.
I just manually checked whiptail_0.50.17-9.6_powerpc.deb and
whiptail_0.50.17-9.8_powerpc.deb off ftp.debian.org and they looked
right.
