As Denis supposed this happened because ckbcomp interpretes "acute" as "ACUTE ACCENT" (0xb0 in ISO-8859-15) instead of APOSTROPHE (0x27). There is similar bug for some other accents. > - the settings do not affect all terminals, only the one I am logged in > and call dpkg-reconfigure, so I cannot enter any umlauts in any other > console thant the one I called setupconf from. I found a bug which caused the ACM not to be loaded on the first console. I suppose on the other consoles it is possible to enter umlauts. > - Strange effect (hard to repeat, but it happens sometimes), after > reconfiguring the console, suddenly some programs cannot be found > (less /etc/X11/xorg.conf: bash: less command not found, but it is > there!) I suppose this was because the first console was left in UTF-8 mode but the loaded keyboard was for ISO-8859-15 (another bug). The other consoles are probably in non-UTF-8 mode. I will prepare a fixed package soon. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
