Bug#65666: base: The program "setkeycodes" in console-tools is broken.
Package: base
Version: 20000614
Severity: grave
After trying to use setkeycodes to map keys from my "web" keyboard
with all sorts of extra buttons (like volume, play, stop, calculator etc)
I discovered that setkeycodes does ... nada ... Due to a small bug
in its handling of the number of arguments it has recieved.
On analysis of the source I've found the solution is to change the
66th line of console-tools-0.2.3/kbtools/setkeycodes.c
from
while ( (argc - optind) > 2)
to
while ( (argc - optind) >= 2)
