This is because we dropped some old cruft to handle migrations from console-setup << 1.55 or so; but it turns out to still be necessary.
Ubiquity doesn't set seen for the debconf questions about model and layout, which would later get noticed and the priority for those questions dropped to medium in the same code as used for preseeding. Unfortunately, since ubiquity doesn't do that (still needs fixing too, added a task for it), we need to look for XKBLAYOUT in /etc/default/keyboard for the upgrade cases and drop priority if it's there. ** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu Vivid) Status: New => In Progress ** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Vivid) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Vivid) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Vivid) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) ** Summary changed: - debconf prompt during upgrade from Utopic to Vivid desktop + console-setup prompts for keyboard layout during upgrade from Utopic to Vivid desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to console-setup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446231 Title: console-setup prompts for keyboard layout during upgrade from Utopic to Vivid desktop Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in console-setup source package in Vivid: In Progress Status in ubiquity source package in Vivid: Triaged Bug description: There is a debconf prompt for keyboard-configuration during an upgrade from a stock Utopic in French to Vivid (cf screenshot) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-14.14-generic 3.19.3 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Apr 20 14:13:50 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-09-03 (593 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha amd64 (20130902) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: console-setup UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1446231/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
