Subject: keyboard-configuration: Empty /sys/bus/usb/devices causes runtime error in the debconf script

Date: Sun, 09 Aug 2020 21:01:01 +0900

Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.196
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

By
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=968109
I have empty /sys/bus/usb/devices directory.

Then dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration fails as

root@rpi4-20200805:~# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceClass': No such file or directory
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceSubClass': No such file or directory
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceProtocol': No such file or directory

and I have no method to configure my keyboard layout.

Best regards, Ryutaroh Matsumoto

I can confirm this bug.

Using qemu/kvm with autopkgtests I have
keyboard-configuration 1.221 inside the testbed and the postinst
script of keyboard-configuration fails with

cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceClass': No such file or directory
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceSubClass': No such file or directory
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceProtocol': No such file or directory
