Keyboard problems since last upgrade



Hi everybody

Last friday I upgraded my system (sid) and since then, I cannot type the
"less than" and "greater than" signs anymore. When I press this key (It
is a german keyboard, the key is just beside the left "shift" key),
nothing happens. This is especially annoying when using emacs (cannot
jump to the top/bottom of a buffer any more) and when trying to use
pipes (cannot access the pipe symbol, which is AltGR+"less than").
First I suspected my keyboard was out of order, but the key works fine
in text-mode. Also, I get response for it when I run xev:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x3f, subw 0x0, time 65210, (170,227), root:(202,283),
    state 0x0, keycode 94 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x3f, subw 0x0, time 65244, (170,227), root:(202,283),
    state 0x0, keycode 94 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

Can anybody help me please to get my pipe symbol back?

Thanks,
joerg

PS.: xlibs & co are now 4.3.0-7, I tried downgrading them to 4.3.0-5
(which were still in /var/cache/apt/archives/), but the keys did not
come back.
