Package: svgatextmode
Version: 1.9-19
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the SVGATextMode's history kbd and console-tools repeatedly
displaced each other. This packaged ping-pong is uncomfortable for
users. Now the actual `svgatextmode' of version 1.9-19 use `kbd'
package as font utilities. In so far as I have `console-tools'
installed, it forces me to edit `TextConfig' and `control' files of
the source. Note the original svgatextmode_1.9-19_amd64.deb is
incompatible with console-tools in the officially pointed Depends. One
can consider a variant which is friendly to both `kbd' and
`console-tools' users. Suggested diff will provide SVGATextMode
compatibility with both of the packages mentioned above. diff
