Package: console-setup
Version: 1.21
Severity: important

Hello,

Since the upgrade to the last console-setup, my keyboard behaves
different on the console:

- The keys <F10>, <F11> and <F12> don't work anymore, at least I cannot
  change to tty10 with <Alt>+<F10> anymore. The only way to reach ttys
  higher than tty9 is the use of <Alt>+<Right_Arrow> ...

- The dead keys on my german keyboard behave like dead keys again, even
  though I selected "eliminate dead keys". In other words, characters
  like ^ ' ` ~ are not printed directly after pressing the key anymore,
  but rather are printed just after the following key is pressed. In case
  that the following key is a letter with support for the 'dead character'
  in some font, like ^ and a, the result is  instead of ^a.

After reloading the default keymap (for example via 'dpkg-reconfigure
console-common') everything behaves normal again. If I rerun
'/etc/init.d/console-setup start' afterwards, the issues return.

Please tell me how I can give you additional information for fixing this
bug.

greetings,
 jonas

Unfortunately I just trashed my old system and setup a new one as I just
got a new computer. That's the first time I did this since many many
years.

In other words, I'm not able to reproduce the bug any longer. I use
console-setup again on my new system, but I've another keyboard and the
F10 to F12 keys work like a charm.

I thus close this bugreport, as there's no way to verify its existance
any longer.

greetings,
 jonas
