Package: console-tools
Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-67
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
same here, seems to be related to bash-4.1 which has a more strict
handling of set -e
output of aptitude:
Setting up console-tools (1:0.2.3dbs-67) ...
Setting console screen modes and fonts.
Setting console screen modes and fonts.
invoke-rc.d: initscript console-screen.sh, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing console-tools (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
console-tools
[..]
problem:
readlink /proc/self/fd/0 | grep -q -e /dev/vc -e '/dev/tty[^p]' -e /dev/console
grep returns 1 when readlink ends up at something like /dev/pts/5 which
happens when dpkg does its job on a non vt and due to the use of set -e
the initscript exits and hence dpkg yields a failed --configure
so dont rely on the return value but use another test like
if [ "x" != "x`readlink /proc/self/fd/0 | grep -e /dev/vc \
-e '/dev/tty[^p]' -e /dev/console`" ] ; then
patch attached, have a nice day
