Bug#920473: console-setup: setupcon re-cache on new remap.inc
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.188
Severity: normal
File: /bin/setupcon
On changing /etc/console-setup/remap.inc, and when a cached keymap
exists, running "setupcon" does not apply the new remap.inc.
I hoped it might.
I see setupcon notices its cached keymap should be regenerated when
/etc/default/keyboard is newer. Could/should it notice remap.inc newer
too, since remap.inc goes into the cache?
I struck this when adding to remap.inc and wanting to apply the result.
I know "loadkeys" can add to the existing, but I wanted also to replace.
