Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.2.1-15
Severity: important

Hi!
First, this bug might be similar to the one described in
Bug#189298 and followups.
Maybe this bug is the same or has reappeared.
1.: After upgrading my system to the latest "unstable"-version about a week
ago (it was fairly up-to-date before), dpkg reported an error saying
that the file "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp" was "existing or not a
symbolic link". This aborted the installation of the package
"xbase-clients".
2.: After removing that file and reinstalling xbase-clients, the
installation routine had created a symbolic link named xkbcomp in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/, pointing at /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp.
Everything seemed OK, but to the fact that the keyboard-mapping
was broken. The "AltGr"-key-shifting didn't work any more; this
is very important for non-US-keymappings.
3.: Doing some research, I found out, that the program xkbcomp
segfaulted on start of XFree. It also reported a segmentation fault
after invoking it manually, like:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -o '/home/uli/justForTest.xkm'
-R'/usr/share/xkbsel' '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86(de)'
I have included the output of this command in the end of this message.
4.: Seems, this file is corrupted. The error is not there any more,
if I use annother binary version of xkbcomp, for example from a
SuSe-Linux-Distribution (SuSe 9.0).
