Package: setserial Version: 2.17-40 Severity: important
-- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages setserial depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- debconf information: setserial/autosave: true setserial/rc-boot-file-removed: setserial/rc-boot-file-renamed: * setserial/autosave-types: manual setserial/update-modules-failed: I have standard pc ports which I wish to configure with different speeds. I configure them with setserial and then use dpkg-reconfigure setserial and choose 'autosave once'. But the config isn't saved as expected. The files in /var/lib/setserial/ are not updated. /etc/serial.conf does not exist at this time. I create it. After that, I do invoke-rc.d setserial restart but the configuration isn't changed to that in serial.conf. Rebooting sets the correct parameters. The comment in /etc/init.d/setserial # Note that this has been changed so that if /etc/serial.conf exists, # this script does not configure the ports. It uses # /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf # instead, which is handled by another # init.d script. However, the script is still used for module loads and # unloads, even if serial.conf exists. is confusing at this point. Maybe another script sets the configuration during boot? Or the comment is wrong? autoserial.conf has still the old wrong parameters, so this can't be the source.
