Re: Bug#179390: Keyboard input with a type5 keyboard is b0rked.



There are two 'bugs'.
1. The missing semicolon (fixed in -6)
2. A bad fallback option. (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't work)

Bug 2 doesn't apply to i386.
The fallback option should be fatal on non-i386 or there should be a working fallback option.
A good fallback keymap should have a working:
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. (to kill the X server)
Ctrl-Alt-{F1-F6} (to switch to a tty)

But Branden Robinson has to decide if and how the second bug should be solved.

Bzzt.

The bug is not grave because it doesn't affect all users of the package.

The bug isn't even "important" because there's a documented workaround
that requires only the editing of a conffile.

It's a normal bug, one that has already been filed twice, and for which
a fix has already been added to my tree for -6.

Please control your emotions better, and consult the Debian BTS, when
filing bug reports in the future.

The "reportbug" package and command of the same name may be of some
utility in discerning whether a bug has already been filed, and may help
you to understand bug severities better.
