Package: svgatextmode
Version: 1.9-20
Severity: serious

Between Etch and Lenny, the console-tools package was dropped and replaced
by kbd.  This necessitated a change in the configuration file for the
svgatextmode package, called /etc/TextConfig.  The name of the font-setting
program under console-tools is consolechars.  The name of the font-setting
program under kbd is setfont.  This change was made.  Unfortunately, the
directory change was not made.  consolechars and setfont are not in the
same directory.  The change made was to change

FontProg "/usr/bin/consolechars -f"

to

FontProg "/usr/bin/setfont"

Unfortunately, the setfont program is in /bin, not /usr/bin, as the
"whereis" program will verify.  The above line should read

FontProg "/bin/setfont"

There are a couple of commented-out places where this is wrong too.
There is also a commented-out place where /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
is referenced as the font path.  This should be /usr/share/consolefonts.
Fortunately, the uncommented version is correct for FontPath.
