I had previously marked the cdebconf task 'invalid'. That was incorrect. It took a while to shake out, but Colin recently rebuilt debian- installer, which pulled in a number of changes since the previous d-i build. In particular, the changes to newt that made this behavior configurable landed in the meantime. When d-i rebuilt against this newer version of newt, the aubergine newt palette dropped out of the installer.
I have a solution to this problem, which will in fact make this palette *totally* configurable for downstreams too. The changes will land in cdebconf. Attaching a patch here, for posterity. I'll look for the appropriate reviews and beta bug fix approvals ASAP. ** Patch added: "cdebconf.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/cdebconf/+bug/730672/+attachment/1954221/+files/cdebconf.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/730672 Title: Improve Console Colors -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
