Package: console-tools
Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-69
Severity: normal
OK, new version, same old bug. For anyone wanting to keep the kernel
font (for whatever reason) and wishing to avoid having Debian set of
software fonts, they will be setting the value of SCREEN_FONT to a null
string in '/etc/console-tools/config', like this:
SCREEN_FONT=
This will result in an error message when '/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh'
is run:
/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh: line 249: [: 1: unary operator expected
To reproduce the error, configure '/etc/console-tools/config' as
indicated above and run the script. To understand why the error
happens, make these changes,
# diff -C 4 console-screen.sh.orig console-screen.sh
*** console-screen.sh.orig 2010-03-02 15:29:07.000000000 -0500
--- console-screen.sh 2010-03-03 08:12:47.000000000 -0500

if [ "$LEDS" != "" ]
then
i=1

and run the script again:

$LEDS= +num
$NUM_CONSOLES=
/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh: line 249: [: 1: unary operator expected
This problem should be solved by code in the setup_fonts() function:
setup_fonts ()
{
[...]
# Try to be cleverer and run for all consoles, but this is run
# _before_ getty and so only one console running. So,
# Set for the first 6 VCs (as they are allocated in /etc/inittab)
NUM_CONSOLES=`fgconsole --next-available`
NUM_CONSOLES=$(($NUM_CONSOLES - 1))
[ ${NUM_CONSOLES} -eq 1 ] && NUM_CONSOLES=6
[...]
}
Alas, it doesn't work.
However, moving those "try to be cleverer" lines outside of
setup_fonts() solves the problem. To test, make changes like this:
# diff -C 4 console-screen.sh.orig console-screen.sh
*** console-screen.sh.orig 2010-03-02 15:29:07.000000000 -0500
