Bug#364631: German keyboard not fully supported in the console (ash) of the installer
Severity: minor
Package: installation-reports
Boot method: CD-image in VMware
Image version:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
'built on 20060409'
Download date: 20060420
Date: 20060424
Machine: VMware Workstation 5.5.1 under Debian/unstable
Test sequence:
- boot without parameters (=default)
- language: German
- keymap: German
- country: other -> Austria
- after automatic DHCP and prompt for hostname,
<ALT>+<F2> to console, <ENTER>
- type in all keys and watch behaviour
Expected result: all characters engraved on the standard German keyboard
should work
Actual result: some are not working = display wrong characters
<ALT-R>+e displays e instead of EURO SIGN (U+20AC)
<ALT-R>+3 displays small filled quad instead of ³ SUPERSCRIPT THREE (U+00B3)
