Re: Vital fix to console-common stuck in testing for three months



Hi

Apologies I have never done a stable update, and am not sure I have permissions.

I've submitted the bug request with debdiff to release.debian.org for FTP master go-ahead in the next upload.

Best regards

Alastair

Hi,

Buster has 0.7.90 of console-common, which unfortunately has a bug so that the install-keymap binary was accidentally excluded from the package.

This was reported in August 2019 as a grave bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=935096

It was fixed early September in 0.7.91 and migrated to testing 2019-09-13:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/console-common

Sadly, this fix has not yet made it into stable. Is something holding this up, or has it just been forgotten?

I'm working to update a custom "edition" based on something like old-old-old-stable to Buster and am now stuck in this because I cannot get the boot keymap I want.


Kind regards,
Oskar
