Bug#561008: console-setup: approximations for 'toilet -f future' symbols look different before and after X
On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 11:01:38PM +0100, Francesco Poli wrote: The equivalent command is 'showcfont' but it doesn't work on my machine (outdated version of Debian unstable). I had tried with 'showcfont', but I thought it didn't do what you wanted. Instead of telling me the name of the used font (as I expected), it wrote a complete table with all the gliphs and codes. Well, I am not able to be sure the font has not changed, just by looking at this table! Yes, if the font is the same you can not be sure that it has not changed but sometimes if it has changed you can be sure that it has changed. :) In your case the font has not changed, so there is no need of more tests. I suppose that only the horizontal lines are broken (the vertical are OK)? Bingo! You guessed! Then it seems this bug must be reassigned to some of the x server video drivers. What is the type of your videocard? Can you attach the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log What happens if you don't use Ctrl+Alt+F1 but rather exit X the normal way? In order to work with 9x16 and 9x14 fonts the video card does a magic: for some of the symbols (the pseudographic symbols) it uses the 8-th bit in each line as 9-th bit. This magic is due to the fact that even the most modern cards are emulating the old VGA hardware that was developed 20 years ago when only the 8-bit technologies were cheap. Somehow X leaves the videocard in a mode when it doesn't use the 8-th bit as 9-th and leaves the 9-th bit empty. As far as lat1u-16 is concerned, please note that it has always had this problem (broken horizontal lines): that's why I labeled it as a compromise solution. I suppose this was because of the way this font was loaded. I think if you put FONT='lat1u-08.psf.gz' in /etc/default/console-setup the lines will not be broken. If you start using framebuffer all lines will display correctly but the console will use 8x16 and 8x14 fonts instead of 9x16 and 9x14. I don't know how the problem you are experiencing can be fixed in the regular text mode. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#561283: debootstrap: honor --components when using mirror_style 'main'
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.20
Tags: patch
I have a mirror that requires mirror_style 'main' (because the top-level
Release file lacks an md5sum list for Packages). However, when using
a mirror_style of 'main', the COMPONENTS list is hardcoded to 'main'.
This is fine if we're not specifying a component list via command
line. However, if we're passing debootstrap --components=foo,bar,baz,
it should really be attempting to use those components.
This patch updates download_main_indices to respect --components.

Bug#561298: debootstrap: download_main fails to iterate through components
Package: debootstrap

Tags: patch
There's a bug in the following code in download_main. I've left
comments in the code below describing it:
# Let's assume $p contains 'coreutils' for this explanation..
# $COMPONENTS contains at least 2 entries (ie, foo bar)
for c in $COMPONENTS; do
local details=
# $details contains
for m in $MIRRORS; do
local path=dists/$SUITE/$c/binary-$ARCH/Packages
local pkgdest=$TARGET/$($DLDEST pkg $SUITE $c
$ARCH $m $path)
if [ ! -e $pkgdest ]; then continue; fi
details=$($PKGDETAILS PKGS $m $pkgdest $p)
# $details contains coreutils - if the package wasn't found in component
'foo'.
if [ $details = $p - ]; then continue; fi
# Assuming only 1 entry in $MIRRORS, break out of the loop..
...
done
# At this point, $details contains coreutils -
if [ $details != ]; then
break
# Whoops, coreutils wasn't actually found in 'foo'; it's actually in 'bar'.
# But since $details contains something other than , we break out of
# the $COMPONENTS loop! Debootstrap then fails, because coreutils couldn't
# be downloaded.
fi
done
This bug is only triggered when you have multiple COMPONENTS, which is
presumably why no one else has hit this (see bug #561283, which allows
usage of multiple components w/ mirror_style main).
The patch below fixes this issue.
