Another detail that would help me figure this out is whether there have been /var/lib/xkb/*.xkm files in the past (i.e. the regression is that they're no longer being generated), or if they've always been missing (in which case the regression is xvfb is now expecting them when it didn't).
Also, can someone able to reproduce this test if merely doing touch /var/lib/xkb/server-1234123412341234123412341234123412341234.xkm makes it proceed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pygtk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829470 Title: Xvfb fails with empty /var/lib/xkb, causing build failures Status in “pygtk” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “pygtk” source package in Oneiric: Invalid Status in “xorg-server” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Bug description: pygtk version 2.24.0-2 failed to build in oneiric Link to failed build: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20110816/+build/2709047 Details about the rebuild: http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20110816-oneiric.html Direct link to the build log: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive /test-rebuild-20110816/+build/2709047/+files/buildlog_ubuntu- oneiric-i386.pygtk_2.24.0-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz This log snippet might be of interest, since it triggered the matcher 'Purging chroot-autobuild'.
