Package: xscreensaver Version: 5.42+dfsg1-1 Followup-For: Bug #699392 It's now actually worse. The core xscreensaver package does not work without xfonts-(100|75)dpi installed, because the font it uses to render the unlock widget is unavailable without one of those packages installed.
The result then, is that you get the unlock widget, and it works ... if you know what it is supposed to look like. The only text on it that renders is the username and password asterisks. Everything else is a sea of blankness. As to Tormod's question of 6+ years ago, this can happen if you have a headless box using a vnc server to provide X sessions. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (490, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.0.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
