Problem after d-u: cp: not replacing

[effo]

Yesterday I did the first d-u in a month or so. It seemed safe, nothing held back or strange things deleted.
At the end of the process I got a lot of lines like

Code: [Select]

cp: not replacing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_9PX4Bp/bin/cat'
cp: not replacing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_9PX4Bp/bin/cpio'
cp: not replacing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_9PX4Bp/bin/dd'
cp: not replacing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_9PX4Bp/bin/dmesg'
cp: not replacing '/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_9PX4Bp/bin/false'

I did a reboot and KDE started fine. I did a CTRL-ALT F1 to enter tty1 and things looked fine. Tried CTRL-ALT F2 to go to tty2 and there I had another font than I usually have. /etc/default/console-setup says FONTFACE="Terminus" which is what I have on tty1, but on tty2-6 this setting is ignored.

Some googling revealed that you should run updated-initramfs -u after editing /etc/default/console-setup. I did so and I got the errors again. Adding -v to get verbose mode, I can see this:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks, should have searched better...

However, font settings are still messed up in tty2-6, but I guess that's another issue

[hendrikL]

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and then setupcon?

[effo]

I tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and setupcon. This worked fine on all ttys, but only until the next reboot. After that, everything was reset to default except tty1

What's strange is that if I log in using a normal user on a failing tty, eg. tty2, and tries to run command setupcon the screen flickers and then the screen is re-rendered with correct font!

Strange, eh?
