This is the real problem this bug is about... so closing it with this explanation: > * Support unset font in Debconf configurator. Thanks Dave Witbrodt, > closes: #527641. is not correct. To fix it, you have to: 1/ document in the file that it's auto-updated based on the debconf infos and that dpkg-reconfigure console-setup is recommended to update it 2/ use ucf or something similar to detect if the file has been edited by the user since last generation and avoid overwriting the file in that case (ucf like dpkg let the user choose what to do in that case) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Contribuez à Debian et gagnez un cahier de l'admin Debian Lenny : http://www.ouaza.com/wp/2009/03/02/contribuer-a-debian-gagner-un-livre/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
