Package: console-setup Version: 1.123 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
In fr_FR.UTF-8 charset, Lat15 for console-setup or also guest charset, console-setup change the non-breaking space in the boot message of systemd to garbage character. The first line of message on the boot screen says about that: /dev/sda1: clean ... that get in fr_FR: /dev/sda1: propre ... This first line works fine but with other partitions, it is displayed: /dev/sda2 : propre ... /dev/sda3 : propre ... etc. Here, no problem with the space and colon couple because it is a French norm. When the stage of the change of the font choosen by console-setup occurs, it is displayed as: /dev/sda2€: propre ... /dev/sda3€: propre ... The € character instead of the non-breaking space may be replaced by another strange character following another font applied by console-setup. Expected results : Whatever the font, a non-breaking space should be displayed in fr_FR before this colon or at least a simple space. The non-breaking space is better. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages console-setup depends on: ii console-setup-linux 1.123 ii debconf 1.5.56 ii keyboard-configuration 1.123 ii xkb-data 2.12-1 console-setup recommends no packages.
