Package: distcc Version: 2.18.1-5 Severity: normal
I'm using KDE with French Canadian keyboard (ca_enhanced), which has the funny characteristic of having the "é" symbol where "/" is usually found.
I just installed distcc, got the debconf "allowed client networks" and while typing, mixed the two keyboards and entered a "é" instead of a "/" (willing to enter "192.168.0.0/16")
From the moment I entered "é" (which wasn't displayed but I found it laterin /etc/default/distcc), I was no longer able to enter anything, nor to backspace. Would looks exactly like a keyboard freeze if it wasn't for the "enter" that worked.
From there, nothing to do through "usual" means. distccd fails to start(obviously), any run of "dpkg-reconfigure distcc" restart with the same "frozen" dialog. Two solutions: edit /etc/default/distcc by hand, or extreme "dpkg -P distcc ; apt-get install distcc".
Setup: debian sarge/i386 up-to-date as of 2005-03-05, custom 2.6.11.2 kernel from kernel.org,
Reporting on distcc, but it may very well be anywhere from dpkg/debconf to KDE.
Please get in touch with me if I can help.
