Hello, [ Reason ] Bug#994729 was noticed only recently: when installing Debian with sysvinit rather than systemd, Braille output wouldn't work in the X session. This was probably already happening in the Stretch & Buster releases. This is not a problem for systemd-based systems that already have a fix since october 2016. [ Impact ] Blind users that use sysvinit-based Debian systems cannot use Braille within X. [ Tests ] The original reporter of the bug tested the fix. [ Risks ] The code is trivial [ Checklist ] [X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] The change simply makes the brltty sysvinit script wait for local filesystems to be mounted before brltty can start, so that /var/lib/BrlAPI is mounted and thus the BrlAPI socket is settled in the right place, for polkit authentication to be working and thus the X screen reader able to use it to display Braille output.
