I get the öäüéàè but I do not get the |@~ on the right place. I already 
got these before as well.

At the moment I do not have a .inputrc in my ~ directory.

This gives me:
debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #26 of 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #27 of 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #28 of 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #29 of 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #30 of 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #31 of 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates

I never had this error before.

Why would I get that. Normally it works.

thanks for your time and feedback.
