[Pkg-kbd-devel] Bug#630108: Stopped propagating errors from child.

[Trent W. Buck]

Package: kbd
Version: 1.15.3-3
Severity: normal
File: /bin/openvt

The version of openvt(1) I had yesterday, would return an error if its
child did, i.e. "openvt -sw -- false", failed.  This version doesn't.
I want the old behaviour back, because it's useful for my scripts.

I think my old version was

    [UPGRADE] kbd 1.15.2-3 -> 1.15.3-3

but I upgraded a lot of stuff yesterday. :-(

PS: I'm using kbd instead of console-setup because the former can do a
smaller Terminus font than the latter.  If you can tell me how to do
that in console-setup, I'm happy to switch to it.

    $ cat ~/.console-setup
    # -*- sh -*-
    #. /etc/default/console-setup || :
    ## FIXME: only list tty's owned by my user.
    # ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
    # CHARMAP="UTF-8"
    # CODESET="Uni2"
    FONTFACE="Terminus"
    FONTSIZE="12x6"
    # XKBMODEL="pc105"
    # XKBLAYOUT="us"
    # XKBVARIANT=""
    XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"
