Broken keyboard and Xresources after upgrade
I upgraded my debian unstable system today this afternoon (around 13
CST/DST). I would like to attach a log from dpkg here to see what it did,
but I do not know if dpkg writes a history to disk and/or where to find
it.
After upgrading, three things happened:
1) My keyboard layout in X went broken (i could not use ALT-GR; it did
nothing)
2) Xdm stopped reading /etc/X11/Xresources (at least it doesn't matter

I managed to find a solution to problem number one. xsetkbdmap called
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kbd/xkbdcomp which was located in /usr/X11R6/bin.
After a symlink that worked. Should I file a bug report about this?
I have not found a solution to problem number two or three, however, so
currently I'm not running xdm. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is
happening?
