Package: plymouth
Severity: grave
Version: 24.004.60-4
X-Debbugs-CC: sjo...@debian.org bi...@debian.org
Hi,
I hate to report like this, but the recent fontconfig-based method
does not seem to work well under certain setup.
On my main workstation running Debian Sid, it has a setup with the
following fontconfig matching pattern:
-> % fc-match -f %{file}
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc
-> % fc-match -f %{file} monospace
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/noto/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc
Now consider the following lines:
https://sources.debian.org/src/plymouth/24.004.60-4/debian/local/plymouth.hook/#L107-L110
DEFAULT_FONT=$(fc-match -f %{file} 2> /dev/null)
[ ! -z "$DEFAULT_FONT" ] && copy_file font "$DEFAULT_FONT"
DEFAULT_MONOSPACE_FONT=$(fc-match -f %{file} monospace 2>
/dev/null)
[ ! -z "$DEFAULT_MONOSPACE_FONT" ] && copy_file font
"$DEFAULT_MONOSPACE_FONT"
When $DEFAULT_FONT equals to $DEFAULT_MONOSPACE_FONT , it is expected that
"copy_file font $whatever" will be invoked twice, causing troubles in postinst:
-> % (Edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth to use "set -x" first)
-> % LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 sudo apt-get install plymouth plymouth-themes -f -y
2>&1 | tee /tmp/plymouth-error.txt

(See the full output in the attachment.)
Do notice that I am using the zh_CN.UTF-8 locale, where fc-match will
have the certain output as I mentioned above.
