Bug#900058: console-setup: Not keeping font over a reboot

2018-05-25 Thread Chris Bannister
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.164
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I rebooted the computer.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
Not sure what is meant by this question, but if I set the font
via dpkg-reconfigure console-setup then reboot the computer the
font settings are not kept and I have to do another dpkg-reconfigure
to get it back.

Please note that before filing this report I had already done a 
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup.
