If we're lucky, a binNMU of libalien-wxwidgets-perl against
libwxgtk3.2-dev,libwxgtk-media3.2-dev 3.2.2 (and later of libwx-perl
against the rebuilt libalien-wxwidgets-perl) might be enough.

A local rebuild of libalien-wxwidgets-perl runs through, including
autopkgtests.

(I haven't tried the second step with libwx-perl.)

Here's a different patch which is longer but more targetted. It
prefixes the argument to kbdnames-maker and kbdcompiler with ./
everywhere I found them and also changes the fallback values in the
two scripts (although I'm not sure this second part is needed).

Comparing the build logs (and build duration :)) and the resulting
packages (with debdiff and diffoscope) looks promising.

I also installed console-setup_1.151_all.deb,
console-setup-linux_1.151_all.deb, and
keyboard-configuration_1.151_all.deb and it didn't change my
/etc/default/keyboard (or /var/cache/debconf/config.dat). [0]

Here's a patch for these warnings [0].


Cheers,
gregor


[0] which are harmless, unless something tests for "no warnings
output", but also easy to fix. perldoc perldiag says:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;
marked by <-- HERE in m/%s/
(D deprecated, regexp) You used a literal "{" character in a regular
expression pattern. You should change to use "\{" instead, because a
future version of Perl (tentatively v5.26) will consider this to be a
syntax error. If the pattern delimiters are also braces, any matching
right brace ("}") should also be escaped to avoid confusing the
parser, for example,

qr{abc\{def\}ghi}

Quick test:
- cowbuilder sid amd64 chroot
- a) DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, b) unset DEBIAN_FRONTEND
- apt-get install -y --install-recommends diffoscope

In case a) I get no questions, as expected; in case b) I also get

Setting up keyboard-configuration (1.134) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based 
frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 
76.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
Configuring keyboard-configuration
--


This looks like DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive is working as
expected; which doesn't answer what's happening in your
jenkins/reproduucible job :/

Hm, a tiny difference is "Dialog frontend will not work" vs. "No
usable dialog-like program is installed". But still, the whole
question should be skipped with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive.

gregor

No problem with closing the 'bug' since it was only a report. Anyway
I'd like to make a few remarks.

stage or were not needed anyway. So again no problem but a little
 Well, I can only say: don't use expert mode ;-)

Well, I don't want to use something else :-)

 You may want to try booting the installer with 'debconf/priority=medium' 
 boot parameter next time.

Ok, if I find another machine needing Debian ...
 
  * Sound: After the base install and with the shipped kernel sound
didn't work. After compiling a custom kernel with ALSA and without
OSS everything is fine.
 Alsa currently never works after the first reboot. Some alsa package needs 
 to be installed that includes blacklisting the OSS modules.
 You should have been able to get thinks working without compiling your own 
 kernel as well.

At this time we installed 2 machines with Debian. Sound didn't work
on both of them. The 2 'solutions' were
* the new kerne lwith alsa and without oss (my machine)
* disabling oss modules somehow (my friend's machine)
Both attempts needed some knowledge and action 
 
  * RAM: I was a little surprised that the shipped kernel included
about each and everything but no HIGHMEM support so I initially had
only 896MB of my 1GB RAM available. (And I didn't know that 1GB is
already HIGHMEM ;-))
 I'm not sure why this choice has been made. There probably is a good 
 reason for it. If you want to find out I suggest asking the kernel 
 mailing list. Anyway, it is not a debian installer issue.

Pooh - I don't think I want to participate in LKML (yet :-))
Anyway: Isn't it possible to activate this option in the Debian
default install kernel?

Comments/Problems:
* The installer asked about _3_ times if I have any PCMCIA devices.
  No real problem but a little annyoing.
* During the installation various messages where shown that several
  modules could not be loaded. I guess they were loaded at a later
  stage or were not needed anyway. So again no problem but a little
  confusing.
* Sound: After the base install and with the shipped kernel sound
  didn't work. After compiling a custom kernel with ALSA and without
  OSS everything is fine.
* Grub: Here comes the only real problem:
  I installed Debian on the S-ATA drive (shown as /dev/hde above,
  originally named /dev/sda). The machine contains an old IDE drive
  too (/dev/hda - primary master). The BIOS is set to boot from the
  S-ATA drive i.e. BIOS reports it as the first and the IDE drive as
  the second hard disk. But: grub thought that the S-ATA drive with
  Debian was (hd1) - and therefore didn't boot - until I changed it
  to (hd0) in /boot/grub/menu.lst.  (Additionally the grub install
  detected my old Windows on the IDE drive but
