I found a problem on handling of debconf values (but it seems already
coming from before, not yet checked in detail). If I have the
config-file configured with a server and port, and run
dpkg-reconfigure conserver-client again it rewrites wrongly the
console.cf:
root@wheezy:/etc/conserver# cat console.cf
# default config for console
config * {
master localhost;
port 3109;
}
root@wheezy:/etc/conserver# dpkg-reconfigure conserver-client
# here choose again localhost and port 3109 ...
root@wheezy:/etc/conserver# cat console.cf
# default config for console
config * {
master localhost;
portY09;
}
root@wheezy:/etc/conserver#
(I have not yet checked where the problem comes from, Gregor can you reproduce
this?)

Salvatore
