Bug#857132: console-setup (again) stopped to apply font at startup

[Karsten Hilbert <karsten.hilbert@gmx.net>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.163
Severity: important

Hi,

console-setup just stopped to apply font settings during startup. This
happened before and was fixed about a year ago:

	https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=759657

Maybe not the same reason but the faulty behaviour is back...

Manually running

	systemctl restart console-setup.service

fixes the problem until the next reboot.

Thanks for looking into the issue,
Karsten
