Package: console-setup Version: 1.201 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: bence.roms...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, After a recent apt-get upgrade, dist-upgrade and reboot I noticed my keyboard settings were reverted to their defaults. I keep these settings in /etc/default/keyboard, and since I have /etc under git (via etckeeper), I can show the change autocommited by the upgrade: # cd /etc && git diff a7d7c52 dd9bba3 -- default/keyboard diff --git a/default/keyboard b/default/keyboard index 5589b6f..d72a57a 100644 --- a/default/keyboard +++ b/default/keyboard @@ -7,9 +7,9 @@ # /etc/init.d/console-setup.sh XKBMODEL="pc105" -XKBLAYOUT="us,hu" +XKBLAYOUT="us" # parallel list to XKBLAYOUT -XKBVARIANT=",102_qwerty_dot_nodead" -XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" +XKBVARIANT="" +XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" BACKSPACE="guess" # git show --oneline dd9bba3 | head -1 dd9bba3 committing changes in /etc made by "apt-get upgrade" The upgrade did not prompt me about changes to this file under /etc, its content was silently changed. Please note that the whole file was not replaced (for example a comment of mine was retained), rather it was edited. I was trying to find which package the /etc/default/keyboard conffile belongs to (my best guess being console-setup), however I found that on my system no package claims this conffile - I believe this may be part of the root cause: # egrep -H /etc/default/keyboard /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.conffiles [no output] However the man pages keyboard(5) and setupcon(1) make me believe this conffile actually belongs to console-setup. Now I manually restored my previous keyboard settings, however I believe the change to this config file should not have been silent. Please let me know if I should collect other information about my system. Thanks in advance, Bence Romsics Excerpt from /var/log/dpkg.log during the upgrade: 2021-02-25 15:15:50 upgrade console-setup-linux:all 1.195 1.201 2021-02-25 15:15:50 status half-configured console-setup-linux:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:50 status unpacked console-setup-linux:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:50 status half-installed console-setup-linux:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status unpacked console-setup-linux:all 1.201 2021-02-25 15:15:52 upgrade keyboard-configuration:all 1.195 1.201 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status half-configured keyboard-configuration:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status unpacked keyboard-configuration:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status half-installed keyboard-configuration:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status unpacked keyboard-configuration:all 1.201 2021-02-25 15:15:52 upgrade console-setup:all 1.195 1.201 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status half-configured console-setup:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status unpacked console-setup:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:52 status half-installed console-setup:all 1.195 2021-02-25 15:15:53 status unpacked console-setup:all 1.201 -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages console-setup depends on: ii console-setup-linux 1.201 ii debconf 1.5.74 ii keyboard-configuration 1.201 ii xkb-data 2.29-2 console-setup recommends no packages.
