Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
after the recent xserver-xorg testing upgrade (the system was on testing before) the xserver rendered unusable. it issues a:

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

> Abandoning symbols file "default"
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages#head-a570197d15005a2c71cbb5e565114e2c04a573a3 suggests to run "mkfontdir" on the mentioned directoriies. they seem to contain fonts. but it does not work. e.g. # ls -l /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
