Package: console-tools Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-69 Severity: normal Hi there!
Upgrading from lenny to squeeze produce the following error (the output
is in italian, but it should be easy to understand what is going on):

Basically, /etc/console-tools/config was modified by another package,
I still ignore which one...
I tried to reproduce it in various way:
- on a cowbuilder lenny chroot (locale 'C'), but with no success (the
SCREEN_FONT* lines were not present in the lenny version)
- in a similar lenny->squeeze upgrade on powerpc (locale 'fr_CH.UTF-8'),
but with no success (the SCREEN_FONT* lines were not present in the
lenny version)
- installing twice lenny on the same machine (but different HDs), the
first time (locale 'fr_CH.UTF-8') the SCREEN_FONT* lines were not
present after the lenny installation, while the second time yes
(locale 'en_US.UTF-8')
While I am lost, I found out that when there is no problem the
console-setup binary package is installed as well . However, I fail to
understand why that, given that I did not choose any manual package, but
instead always installed lenny in 'standard' mode.
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
