Subject: console-setup: Default for console-setup/codeset not in Choices

Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 18:43:08 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.15
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The Default: for console-setup/codeset is not one of the values in the
Choices: field. This looks unintentional, and confuses debconf into
using an incorrect default. Furthermore, cdebconf at least gets very
confused by what the .config script does in response to this (see
https://launchpad.net/bugs/84401), the fix for which ultimately comes
down to avoiding db_defaulting console-setup/codeset to the empty string
(which is best avoided anyway). Patch for both problems attached.

Thanks,

 .
   * Update ckbconf with the most recent list of xkeysyms.
   * Thanks to Colin Watson and Ubuntu team for the many bugs and
     improvements fixed in this release.  Patches were provided by Colin
     Watson:
     - Do not sorce the debconf library in the middle of the postinst,
       closes: #420831.
     - Remove from the source package several directories
       debian/UDEB-PACKAGE-NAME.  (The udebs were removed from
       debian/control before running the clean target.)  Closes: #420912.
     - Map fr_CH locale to Swiss French default keyboard
       layout in config.proto.  Closes: #420828.
     - Pass xkbdir variable on the make-command line, because else its
       value is overriden and the keymap definitions in Keyboard/ckb are
       used.  Closes: #420827.
     - A new option --save-only for setupcon.
     - Ship KeyboardNames.pl and kbdnames-maker.  Closes: #420914.
     - Fix Esperanto locale check in config.proto, closes: #420785.  Make
       'epo' the default layout for Esperanto.
     - The Bosnian layout is 'ba', not 'bs'.  Closes: #420787.
     - The layout variant is 'deva', not 'dev'.  Closes: #420797.
     - Do not leave empty default codeset for unsupported locales.
       Closes: #420802.
     - Use 'jp(latin)' instead of 'us' in the Latin mode of Japanese
       keyboards.  Override the keyboard model if it was chosen by default
       and the layout is Japanese or Brasilian.  Closes: #420824.
     - Add --save-only option to setupcon.  Closes: #420832.
     - Multiply the Installer-Menu-Item field of the udebs by 100.
       Closes: #421260.
     - By default do not use AltGr with basic US keyboard.  Closes: #421263.
     - Make sure amiga, ataritt, sun4 and sun5 are in KeyboardNames.pl even
       if they are not in the xml database.  Closes: #420821.
     - Talk about 'national' instead of 'non-Latin' mode in the templates.
       Treat the Lithuanian keyboard as a two-mode keyboard similarly to
       the Serbian keyboard.  Closes: #421261.
   * Do not ignore the Control+ and Alt+non_symbol_key combinations.
     Thanks to Karsten Hilbert, closes: #421796.
   * Two additions to the FAQ:
     - Add a suggestion for the VBERestore option.  Thanks to Dmitry
       Semyonov, closes: #402143.
     - Document CapsLock working as ShiftLock in Unicode mode.
   * Added manual page for setupcon.  Thanks to Vassilis Pandis,
     closes: #405005.
