What can be reason.
What charset/keymap are you using? I have the same problem in the console, but
if I type `loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz`, the
problem is gone.
Maybe it's a bug in console-data. Oddly enough, after running
`dpkg-reconfigure console-data` and picking the same keymap, the C and E
are in lower-case.
If anyone knows the correct solution, instead of running the loadkeys
command from .bashrc, it'd be appreciated. :)

How to know that.
You can find out the charset with
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

I'm not sure how to find out the keymap setting (other than knowing what
may have been selected during the installation).

I used your tip. Atleast I was getting the things working
:-)
Glad to hear it was helpful. I'd still like to get it working the
"proper" way though..
.
It's odd that it doesn't seem to be a common problem since I've never
seen anyone complain about it not working (until I read your post).

Maybe a bug *should* be filed against console-common
after all, since using 'loadkeys' to load the keymap resolves
the problem for two of us in completely different parts of the world.
I wonder why no one else seems to experience this. It occurs
on a couple-day old installation of Debian Sid with the following
versions of console-(data|common) installed:
ii console-common 0.7.55
Basic infrastructure for text console configuration
ii console-data 2002.12.04dbs-52
Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fallback tables for console-tools
(I'd like to try to get input from others about this before I file a bug
against "console-common" which includes the file /etc/init.d/keymap.sh).
