Hrmm -- I purged all kbd and all console-tools, and I have two entries in /usr/share/consolefonts: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1264 Mar 30 12:25 8x12alt.psf.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1741 Mar 30 12:25 Cyr_a8x32.psf.gz one of those is unique to svgatextmode, so I included it (the 8x12alt). I suppose the other one didn't get purged cause I'm currently using it. I don't really want to resize STM at the moment - heh - this card is flaky enough. Strange, though, that I didn't get any dependency issues. Perhaps because theres no depends: just recommends: I looked at a few other things -- would it be possible (well, advisable) to rename my fonts, then in postintst, do the test, then either rename or delete my duplicates. BW re: Yeah, I have 80x25, but I never use it -- t'is horrible. I just try to cut my lines at ~ 80 -- sometimes I get it, sometimes now *shrug* If you want to look at it, my current .deb is at www.debian.org/~talon On Tue, Mar 30, 1999 at 06:04:43PM -0500, Mitch Blevins wrote: > In foo.debian-mentors, you wrote: > > *SO* > > > > 1) What I'd like to do is try removing it's depends on > > kbd and/or kbd-compat (at least for my trial > > versions) and rebuild until it works (retesting it's > > deps) -- I'll leave it's conflicts in, but > > I think it only depended because of the fonts -- which it contains. > > > > 2) At the same time, I'd like to somehow run some type of > > test somewhere that checks for the > > existance of the 3 font-files that exist in svgatextmode and > > in console-tools-data.
