console keyboard remaped (newbie)



Yesterday I just installed potato.  Today I was adding programs using dselect and apt.  After finishing dselect, my console keyboard was remaped (e.g., ";" is now "m", "q" and "a" are switched).  The keyboard is fine under X (even in a xterm).  This problem makes login difficult, since I must remember which keys are associated with the letters of my password.

Possibly related, I noticed when installing programs the error that the termcap file was not found.  Is this error important (it didn't seem to stop apt-get)?  Should I fix it?  If so, how?

Thanks in advance.
