Bug#185013: kbd-chooser: segfaults with norwegian language and DEBCONF_PRIORITY=high

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

Package:  kbd-chooser
Version:  0.015
Severity: important

The kbd-chooser package crashes when I run with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=high
and DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text.  First I pick Norwegian Bokmaal as the
language, abort a package to get to the main menu, and then I pick
"Detect a keyboard and select layout.".  This is the output:

  kbd-chooser's postinst exited with status 256

There is no information in /var/log/messages about what happened
before it crashed.

When I run with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium, there is no crash, but there
is no default keyboard layout selected either.  Earlier, no-latin1 was
selected as the default keyboard when I used Norwegian Bokmaal.

I use the CD image available as
<URL:ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/debian-cd/woody-i386-1.raw> to test this.
The image is rebuilt every two hour.
