retitle 653036 gpm: kernel version detection in debconf script fails for kernel >= 3 severity 653036 important tags 653036 + patch thanks
Hi
After checking the debconf script a bit further, I notice that the
actual error conditions just triggers because this hunk fails to work
properly on kernel >=3:
case $KVER in
Linux-2.6*)
# Use the input layer by default.
# The input layer also makes the gpm repeater rather moot.
db_set gpm/device /dev/input/mice;
db_set gpm/type exps2;
db_set gpm/repeat_type none ;;
esac
The attached patch fixes the version check, although the version part
of it could be removed just as well, given that kernel <<2.6(.32) isn't
a supported configuration for Debian anymore.
