Bug#1122650: keyboard-configuration:arm64 Depends xkb-data (< 2.42A)
Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.244
Hi,
the dependency issue with keyboard-configuration_1.244_all.deb can
temporarily be fixed by replacing the following lines in its control file:
Version: 1.244b
Depends: debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, liblocale-gettext-perl, xkb-data (>= 2.42~), xkb-data (<< 2.46A)
After the replacement xkb-data_2.46-1_all.deb happily installs, however, the symbolic link
/usr/share/X11/xkb -> ../xkeyboard-config-2 is not honored by the package manager, because of
a previously existing directory /usr/share/X11/xkb in version 2.42-1 of xkb-data. This directory
becomes now empty and Xorg not finding its configuration files terminates upon next restart. Since
the symbolic link exists in xkb-data_2.46-1_all.deb, I believe this is a bug in the package manager.
Manually creating the missing link resolves the issue.
Cheers,
