Unfortunately, I also see this problem and I can't install the new X
packages, since they depend on console-setup (or the smaller version of
it), but it just hangs there in the configuration phase, spawning new
processes and there is starvation in the installation.

BTW, I tested with many keyboard layouts not with "non-standard" and I
never had any success.

Thus, I'm raising the severity of this bug. If more information is
desired, please let me know.


Regards, Rogério Brito.

Bug#536683: console-setup: Installation/upgrade freezes when non-standard XKBLAYOUT used

2009-07-12 Thread Tibor Zenis 
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.44
Severity: normal

Hi,
installation fails if the XKBLAYOUT (/etc/default/console-setup or
/etc/X11/xorg.conf) is set to a non-standard value (sk_tz in my case).
Process "/var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup.config configure" starts up
too many (> 1000 per second) processes (grep, sed, sort) with no
symptoms of progress.
