I don't believe this is related to the exact package being installed, rather the installer itself or a back-end process. And the various tests for nice values (i.e. Pauls comment #8 : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/68267/comments/8), is there other code to ensure that the value b

I can confirm that this is happening on a fresh install of Kubuntu-Herd5 (downloaded via .torrent March 7). I had just booted up the first time and ran Adept Manager to get the latest updates (March 8 @ 18:41 GMT). After the downloads finished, it errored with the screen shot here(also attach

Time for me to sleep, but I think that if in: --- while :; do run db_input low x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value # is the question going to be asked? if [ $? -eq 30 ]; then break # no; bail out of validation loop fi run db_go --- you move the run db_go before the if, that should fix the

I begin to think the problem WAS NOT with validate_nice_value, but rather with the priority of debconf. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force -plow x11-common" seems to work but "sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force -pmedium x11-common" seems to bug. -- x11-common have an important debconf bug https://launchpa

Something like this (install at least build-essential and fakeroot packages first): apt-get source x11-common cd xorg-7.2 patch -p1 -i /path/to/thefix.diff (or edit the debian/x11-common.config.in by hand) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -b - install the .deb with dpkg -i x11-common-XYZ.de

Oh my.. I just replaced that validate_nice_value() function with a one- liner using /usr/bin/test. Works for me on Feisty (server install, but eg. java and gd requires x11-common). The attached patch can also be found at https://no.spoon.fi/~jvtm/patches/ubuntu/ubuntu-feisty-x11-common .config-va

How about just using /usr/bin/test and get rid of the expr. AFAIK, it should whine if the input is not numeric, eg: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i=4; test "$i" -ge -20 -a "$i" -lt 10 2> /dev/null; echo $? 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ i=abc; test "$i" -ge -20 -a "$i" -lt 10 2> /dev/null; echo $? 2 [EMAIL PROTEC
