Bug#838310: keyboard-configuration: user configuration lost + error message from setupcon
Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.149
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Just after the upgrade of keyboard-configuration from 1.148 to 1.149,
I could see that my previous configuration was lost. More precisely,
config.dat changed in the following way:

I don't know the possible consequences, though. The
/usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/changelog.gz file just says:

Moreover, I can see in the /var/log/apt/term.log file after an
upgrade of the Linux kernel and the nvidia packages:
[...]

setupcon: The keyboard model is unknown, assuming 'pc105'. Keyboard may be configured incorrectly.

Note: I have
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 145 2016-09-19 19:03:19 /etc/default/keyboard
Thus this file was modified when keyboard-configuration was upgraded
(and before this upgrade of the Linux kernel and the nvidia packages).
This error message is just a consequence of this bug.
