Actually, scratch that -- Jessie is also affected. I was testing with "tzdata" and it worked in Jessie, but testing with the example Anders provided of "keyboard-configuration" I was able to reproduce even on Jessie. Going back to Squeeze, I was no longer able to reproduce: | ... | Setting up keyboard-configuration (1.68+squeeze2) ... | debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog | debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.) | debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline | debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Readline | debconf: (This frontend requires a controlling tty.) | debconf: falling back to frontend: Teletype | Configuring keyboard-configuration | ---------------------------------- | | Please select the layout matching the keyboard for this machine. | | 1.
