Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.205 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: pior...@gmx.com
Dear Maintainer, 1. Changed my keyboard layout to GB Colemak via "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard- configuration" 2. Rebooted 3. All changed were ignored to my surprise. After a lot of digging and discussion in Debian User mail group, I realized that "pkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" did not trigger update-initramfs. All my changes have been ignored. And it would stay that way, until I install new Debian kernel or update current one. I had to do "update-initramfs -u -k all" to have my keyboard layout changed. This bug renders keyboard-configuration unusable, until user knows magic command which needs to be done after. Solution 1: "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" should warn about required update- initramfs, otherwise changes are not implemented Solution 2: "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" should update initramfs I use Debian Stable with KDE, no exotics. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages keyboard-configuration depends on: ii debconf 1.5.77 ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.07-4+b1 keyboard-configuration recommends no packages. keyboard-configuration suggests no packages.
