We've had kbd in /lib for quite a long time, nobody has ever noticed this. Moving the individual kbd.mo files does work - e.g. in a UTF-8 system try $LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF8 dumpkeys --help With the files as installed, english text. With the german kbd.mo copied to the appropriate directory in /usr/share I get recognizable German text - people who can't read German should be able to see the umlauts [ or invalid glyphs if using LC_ALL=de_DE ! ] A quick look at configure suggests that --localedir should work, but I haven't tried that. Can you raise a bug, please, so that this doesn't get forgotten ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
