Package: console-tools
Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-67
Severity: important
Tags: patch
console-screen.sh relies on a "if [ $? -eq 0 ]" test in setup_fonts(), which is
incompatible with the set -e added in the most recent upload, making the script
fail and the package therefore unconfigurable if it's *not* run from a virtual
console. In particular, it'll fail if the console is any pts device, making
upgrades within X impossible.
Simple patch:
