[Bug 1528861] Re: cryptsetup can not coexist with console-common

[Steven Shiau]

Thanks.
The reason we need to use install-keymap is it's easier to do that in unattended mode, i.e. e.g. to set the French keyboard, just use:
install-keymap /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin9.kmap.gz

So if console-common is obsolete, is that possible to use console-setup and keyboard-configuration to configure the keymap in unattended, non-interactive way? If so, that would be great.
Appreciate.

Steven.

Title:
  cryptsetup can not coexist with console-common

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The package cryptsetup can not coexist with console-common due to
  cryptsetup depends on plymouth. However, plymouth conflicts with
  console-common, so this makes the cryptsetup can not coexist with
  console-common. This does not happen on Debian Sid because cryptsetup
  on Debian does not depend on plymouth. We need console-common is
  because we need the program install-keymap from console-common for the
  live CD we want to create.

  # cat /etc/lsb-release 
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)"
