No, it was simply because the package was not on the CD at all! And that would have been a *very* obvious thing to check, don't you think? > Maybe we could move the installation of console-setup to a > finish-install script as there is nothing to do but install > console-setup. No. That would still leave users who install from a netinst _without_ using a mirror in the cold. Although unusual, that _is_ a valid installation option. The rule is: if a package gets apt-installed, it *must* be included on every bootable CD that includes the base system (i.e, all except the businesscard). > BTW; it seems that kbd-config post-base-installer script needs some > cleaning: I'd leave it in until there are a lot less problems reported with console-setup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
