Package: console-common
Version: 0.7.54
Followup-For: Bug #332745
Hi,
I noticed that this problem was caused by the configuration of the
console-data package. For some reason, I had chosen
console-data/keymap/policy: Don't touch keymap
which, understandably, kept using the broken keymap. An easy way to
fix this was to run "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" and choose "Select
keymap from arch list". This was not immediately obvious to me as the
error was triggered by the console-common package, but the
configuration setting was in the console-data package.
I do not know why I have chosen the wrong setting. Maybe it was a
default setting in some version?
The error message recommends using install-keymap, but I think one
could also recommend "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" to a regular
user. After all, this is a bit more user-friendly and requires no
knowledge of keymap names and such.
Best regards,
Jukka Suomela
