`sys-apps/kbd-2.7` appears to have become strict about the ordering of options vs non-options on the command-line, which breaks the invocation in `/etc/init.d/consolefont` in `sys-apps/openrc-0.55.1`. > setfont: ERROR setfont.c:312 kfont_load_fonts: Unable to find file: -C Note that this behavior CANNOT be tested on a graphical terminal, since option processing in `setfont` is largely skipped when a "graphics terminal" is detected. See: https://github.com/legionus/kbd/blob/master/src/setfont.c#L307 ```console $ equery belongs $(which setfont) * Searching for /usr/bin/setfont ... sys-apps/kbd-2.7 (/usr/bin/setfont) $ equery belongs /etc/init.d/consolefont * Searching for /etc/init.d/consolefont ... sys-apps/openrc-0.55.1 (/etc/init.d/consolefont) $ setfont --verbose setfont: graphics console skipped $ ``` Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Boot system with `sys-apps/kbd-2.7` and `sys-apps/openrc-0.55.1` installed. Actual Results: Fonts on the console remain unchanged. The following error is printed instead: > setfont: ERROR setfont.c:312 kfont_load_fonts: Unable to find file: -C Expected Results: Font on the console should be set to whatever is configured in `/etc/conf.d/consolefont`. I'll attach the output from `/etc/init.d/consolefont restart --debug` that shows both the original issue and a trivial fix (simply switch the order of the arguments in the init-script).
Created attachment 914075 [details] /etc/init.d/consolefont restart --debug This is a bit of a mess. Just search for `setfont`...
Just in case it's unclear, the attached logs are generated by a slightly modified `/etc/init.d/consolefont` script that both demonstrates the error *and* fixes it... ```diff --- openrc-0.55.1/init.d/consolefont.in 2024-09-18 20:11:58.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/init.d/consolefont 2024-12-15 10:47:10.704688022 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -#!@SBINDIR@/openrc-run +#!/sbin/openrc-run # Copyright (c) 2007-2015 The OpenRC Authors. # See the Authors file at the top-level directory of this distribution and # https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/blob/HEAD/AUTHORS @@ -53,8 +53,10 @@ x=1 while [ $x -le $ttyn ]; do if ! setfont $consolefont $param -C $ttydev$x >/dev/null; then + if ! setfont $param -C $ttydev$x $consolefont >/dev/null; then retval=1 break + fi fi : $(( x += 1 )) done ``` Clearly, in the end, only the fix needs to be kept... ;-)
