Package: kbd
Version: 1.15.2-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I first experienced the bug as a failure of install-keymap, which died with
"loadkeys: ... unicode keysym out of range: ... ".
Actually, dumpkeys and loadkeys (from kbd) can't talk to each other in a UTF-8
environment. For instance, I am interested in using the mac-macbook-fr keymap.
Laodkeys can load it directly, it can also load when symlinked as
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz. However, it cannot load the file created by
dumpkeys, which contains compose lines like:
compose '`' 'A' to U+ffffffc0
whereas the original input files (as well as bootime.kmap.gz as produced by the
console-tools version of dumpkeys) contain lines like
compose '`' 'A' to À
The same utilities from the console-tools package work fine for me. loadkeys
from kbd can read the boottime.kmap.gz produced by dumpkeys from console-tools.
Best regards, Thibaut.
