Those files are there for historic reasons. I should probably remove them. I haveuploaded a new Hurd package today which will be installed tonight and has kbd/mouse translators. I simply forgot o include them the last time(s). You are not supposed to get your own copy of these translators. Everything should be in the hurd package. > > The download of a new makedev - package failed because of a broken package > error (located at the base-passwd - package) > makedev is a Linux only package. Now you might rightfully ask why the Linux only package exists in the Hurd archive, and this is a question you should ask the dpkg developes and ftp admins. (Well, actually I know the answer: makedev is a binary-all package, that means it is supposed to be for all Debian ports. This was true before Debian GNU/Hurd came into existance, and now it is still not fixed. We want a caterogry for all Linux ports, for all Hurd ports etc, but yet nobody came forward with a satisfying proposal [not that nobody tried, it's just quite difficult a problem. Some things in Debian are broken and established enough to make a fix difficult.)
