Since moving to xserver-xorg, dpkg-reconfigure (even at low priority) does not work anymore, since the debconf values for inputdevice/mouse/port and inputdevice/mouse/protocol are empty, leading to an error message and a 0 size xorg.conf, from /var/cache/debconf/config.dat: Name: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port Template: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port Value: Owners: xserver-xorg Flags: seen Variables: choices = Name: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol Template: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol Value: Owners: xserver-xorg Flags: seen Variables: choices = I tried to set them manually in there, but to no avail (not being a debconf guru). Thus upgrading this bug report to important, as it renders the package useless on a non-releasing architecture. Anyway, the right values for hurd-i386 are "/dev/mouse" for port and "osmouse" for protocol, could this made default? This is what dpkg-architecture outputs, if it helps: DEB_BUILD_ARCH=hurd-i386 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=hurd DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=gnu DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i486-gnu DEB_HOST_ARCH=hurd-i386 DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=hurd DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i486-gnu Should I find somebody who whips up a patch for this? cheers, Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
