Package: console-tools Version: 0.2.3dbs-61 Severity: serious Upgrade of console-tools (and therefore console-common) fails because console-screen.sh throws an error when started:

FAIL 1
Replacing:
# If we can't access the console, quit
CONSOLE_TYPE=`fgconsole 2>/dev/null` || return
with:
# If we can't access the console, quit
CONSOLE_TYPE=`fgconsole 2>/dev/null` || return 0
may fix the problem.
Note that there are other cases as well where "|| return" is used.
