[Bug 828027] Re: plymouth dependency dejavu font missing

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.2-2ubuntu26

---------------
plymouth (0.8.2-2ubuntu26) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Add direct dependency on ttf-dejavu-core since that's the font used in
    the initramfs-tools hook, instead of trusting that fontconfig-config
    pulls in the right alternative.  LP: #828027.
  * debian/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/plymouth: /run doesn't get
    moved to ${rootmnt}/run until *after* our script has run, so don't try
    to check for it before calling plymouth update-root-fs - it's not like
    we would ever want to not pivot root, anyway.  Fixes the fact that we
    haven't been getting /var/log/boot.log for months now.
  * debian/plymouth.plymouth-stop.upstart: if stopped by lightdm, let
    lightdm handle the VT transition as it's able, so we get flicker-free
    boot.  LP: #849954.

Title:
  plymouth dependency dejavu font missing

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The plymouth-Package (and his plymouth*-dependencies) does not contain the font deja-vu-sans-Font. The file is in ttf-dejavu-core, but is no dependency of plymouth (but of vlc).
  So, if you install a ubuntu without vlc (e.g. because of own packaging), plymouth will show no messages on bootup, but little little boxes instead of characters.

  This bug is around since lucid (plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu2)
