Package: xlibs
Version: 4.0.2-1
Severity: important
After upgrading X from 3.3.x (the last 3.x.x before 4.0.x came into
testing) to 4.0.2 and so installing xlibs 4.0.2 and xlib6g 4.0.2 "Alt Gr",
that is all the keys on a swissgerman keyboard that require Alt Gr to be
reached, such as "@", "|" and so on stopped working. I investigated a bit
and found that the X server is saying that:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error: Can't find file "xfree86" for keycodes include
> Exiting
> Abandoning keycodes file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
Error loading new keyboard description
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
I investigated some more and found that allthough some keymaps are inside
xlibs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb, they are not installed?!?:
# apt-cache show xlibs

But:
# ls -l /etc/X11/xkb/keymap
total 3

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 31 18:20 sgi
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 31 18:20 sun
that's all there is in that directory, contrary to what the contents of
xlibs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb say!
After copying manually all the files from xlibs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb to the
respective places everything works again as expected.
How come dpkg is not installing the files that are missing? Is there
something wrong with the layout or with permissions?

No answer, closing this bug (and in fact there was no bug here, some
files were missing).
