[Pkg-kbd-devel] Bug#483607: kbd: inserv error upon installation

[Wolf Wiegand]

Package: kbd
Version: 1.14.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi, 

on a current unstable system, I tried to install kbd (together with gyrus,
that's why that package is appearing in the following transcript):

$ sudo apt-get install kbd gyrus
[...] 
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  console-tools 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gyrus kbd libgnet2.0-0
[...]
dpkg: console-tools: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request:
 hibernate depends on console-tools | kbd; however:
  Package console-tools is to be removed.
  Package kbd is not installed.
 pm-utils depends on kbd | console-tools; however:
  Package kbd is not installed.
  Package console-tools is to be removed.
 console-common depends on kbd | console-tools (>= 1:0.2.3dbs-54); however:
  Package kbd is not installed.
  Package console-tools is to be removed.
 acpi-support-base depends on console-utilities; however:
  Package console-utilities is not installed.
  Package console-tools which provides console-utilities is to be removed.
Removing console-tools ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up kbd (1.14.1-2) ...
insserv: script console-screen.kbd.sh: service console-screen already provided!
insserv: exiting now!
dpkg: error processing kbd (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kbd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Cheers,

Wolf
