serious bugs of keyboard-configuration (1.147 → 1.148) <Outstanding>
 b1 - #833378 - keyboard-configuration: config script fails (syntax error)
Summary:
 keyboard-configuration(1 bug)

According to the bug report https://bugs.debian.org/833378 , a patch was submitted 12-13 days ago, but apparently it still hasn't made it's way to the Unstable repos.  Has anyone went ahead and upgraded to version 1.148 without issue?  Holding back keyboard-configuration also holds back upgrades to console-setup and console-setup-linux packages.

No problems with 1.148 for the past ~ 10 days.

Thank you, devil.

Hello Krunchtime,
thanks for the heads up, though this doesn't apply to siduction.

Apparently, this only happens with mksh.

siduction uses plain debian defaults, and packages will use dash to run configure scripts.
dash is a shell with a reduced function set which starts much faster than bash.

Thank you for the info, musca.  It is okay to come here and post info/questions about Debian Unstable, though, right?

Hello KrunchTime,

sure you can ask for sid. Please make the differences visible.
e.g. "On my sid install I have dash replaced by mksh."

It's the purpose of this forum to separate the real issues from the false positives in apt-listbugs.

greetings
