Strangeness with console-tools

[Lele Gaifax <lele@seldati.it>]

Hi all,
I'm facing something I cannot understand: at home I'm running `sid',
that I keep upgraded every few days.

Since some upgrades ago, the console keymap is not initialized
anymore. I'm using an italian keyboard, and it was working correctly
with the `kbd' package that, AFAICT, has been replaced by
console-common/console-tools.

I found two related directories in /etc, `console' and
`console-tools':
# tree /etc/console*
/etc/console
|-- boottime.kmap.gz
`-- boottime.old.kmap.gz
/etc/console-tools
|-- config
`-- default.kmap.gz

Both `default.kmap.gz' and `boottime.kmap.gz', even if different,
contains an italian kbd setup, so that `loadkeys' happily digest them.

This is my current packages

# COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l *console* | egrep "^ii" | cut -c -60
ii  console-common                  0.6
ii  console-data                    1999.08.29-20
ii  console-tools                   0.2.3-22
ii  console-tools-libs              0.2.3-22

# dpkg -S keymap.sh
console-common: /etc/init.d/keymap.sh

# ls /etc/init.d/k*
/etc/init.d/kerneld
/etc/init.d/klogd

I tried to --reinstall the `console-common' package, but I still miss
the `keymap.sh' script...

Hints?

thanx&bye,
lele.
