Package: console-data Version: 2:1.12-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Package console-common is listed as recommends for console-data. However, if console-common is not installed, there is a problem to run "dpkg-reconfigure console-data", i.e. when it's run, after selecting "Select keymap from arch list", nothing happens. Normally it should ask the "Keyboard layout family", then "Keyboard layout". This is how to reproduce it: 1. bootstrap a Debian Sid environment: debootstrap --verbose --arch=amd64 --exclude=console-common --include=console-data sid sid-chroot http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian 2. chroot sid-chroot 3. dpkg-reconfigure console-data 4. Select "Select keymap from arch list", then it quits without asking "Keyboard layout family", and "Keyboard layout", i.e. Nothing happens. If the Debian Sid environment is build with: debootstrap --verbose --arch=amd64 --include=console-data,console-common sid sid-chroot-amd64 http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian Then "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" works when selecting the keymap. So it seems to make sense to list "console-common" as required for "console-data"? My 2 cents. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages console-data depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.58 Versions of packages console-data recommends: ii console-common 0.7.89 ii kbd 2.0.3-2 Versions of packages console-data suggests: pn unicode-data <none> -- debconf information excluded -- Steven Shiau <steven _at_ stevenshiau org> Public Key Server PGP Key ID: 4096R/47CF935C Fingerprint: 0240 1FEB 695D 7112 62F0 8796 11C1 12DA 47CF 935C
