Bug Description
On a fresh trusty install:
Issue:
_ when booting, letters in bootscreen messages are replaced by rectangles (with cryptsetup installed for example).
_ running "update-initramfs -k all -u" produces a warning:
"cp: impossible d'évaluer «/usr/share/
locate DejaVuSans :
/usr/share/
/usr/share/
/usr/share/
/usr/share/
error in path: ttf-dejavu --> dejavu
Obviously the fonts' location changed when 'ttf-dejavu-core' was renamed to 'fonts-dejavu-core'
Plymouth should be updated to reflect that change.
The warning comes from:
/usr/share/
