Univention Bugzilla – Bug 53515
Switch from deprecated console-data to current console-setup
Last modified: 2021-06-25 11:16:11 CEST
UCS "bin:univention-base-packages" Depends "bin:console-data", which is more-or-less deprecated and unmaintained: - last upstream is v1.12 is from 2011 - Debian still references salsa, which is dead - The were plans to merge it back into "kbd", which never happened because it is obsoleted by "bin:console-setup" Historically there are many more packages, which were forked/merged from each other and over time "current best practice" changed. "console-setup" is the new package as it both supports Console and X11 compared to "console-data", which is Console only. See /usr/share/doc/kbd/README.Debian - 'bin:console-setup' and 'bin:console-setup-linux' Low-level, already include all required fonts - 'bin:kbd' preferred "bin:console-setup" over "bin:console-data" - 'bin:systemd' has 'localectl' - 'bin:keyboard-configuration' High-level Debian tool https://linux.debian.devel.narkive.com/b5aoMeoO/status-of-kbd-console-data-and-console-setup https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard Switch univention-base-packages to depend on console-setup
