Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.90 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
On 1.89 -> 1.90 upgrade, /etc/default/keyboard is overwritten with XKBVARIANT="us,tis" from the old value XKBVARIANT=",tis". This causes xkbcomp error when starting X server: ---8<--- The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: No Symbols named "us" in the include file "us" > Exiting > Abandoning symbols file "default" Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. ---8<--- And all XKB functionalities do not work any more. (Most importantly, no group switching, and thus no way to type non-US keysyms.) Manually fixing XKBVARIANT back to ",tis" does solve the problem, but whenever I "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration", it will be back again. I think the relevant change is this one: [ Anton Zinoviev ] * Proofreading of debian/keyboard-configuration.config. Make the file a little more readable with more comments. Some changes in the logic. This probably fixes the important part of #693485. Thanks to Bob Bib. I can see two occurrences of 'XKBVARIANT="us,' pattern in debian/keyboard-configuration.config file. Replacing it with 'XKBVARIANT=",' does solve the problem, but surely there can be other places where the logic is hidden. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=th_TH.utf8, LC_CTYPE=th_TH.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages keyboard-configuration depends on: ii debconf 1.5.49 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-35 ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-7+b1 keyboard-configuration recommends no packages. keyboard-configuration suggests no packages.
