Bug#404503: Wrong characters typed using dead keys

Hi,
I've check that Samuel wrote a patch to kbd package, see kernel bug
7746. It seems to me that it affects loadkeys binary only.
I use package console-tools, so I cannot use package kbd.
It seems console-tools is preferred (`console-tools' was developed
from version 0.94 of the standard `kbd' package, and integrates many
fixes and enhancements, including new kbd features up to 0.99.).
Please confirm that I can solve my problem by following way without
subsequent failures:
- Download source of kbd
- Apply patch from kernel.org and compile package
- Move file loadkeys to /usr/local/bin (or will it be better move it
to /bin and overwrite existing file loadkeys?)
Thank you,
Pavel
Hi,
console-tools was developed from kbd, but is no longer maintained
upstream and will be retired before lenny.
Please switch to kbd, and report any (other) problems you encounter
doing so, as to help the transition.
Regards,
Alastair
