keyboard (console?) problem

["Johannes Resch" <jr@xor.at>]

hi,

i want to setup a german keymap (using the "nodeadkeys"-variant) on a
daily updated debian unstable system (debian kernel 2.6.6-2-686).

when trying to install the keymap, this error message is displayed:

pluto:/# install-keymap
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/mac-usb-de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz
Deferring virtual terminal setup until console accessible.

i already did "dpkg-reconfigure -plow console-common" a couple of times,
but the same error appears there.
i also re-installed console-common and console-data.

while searching for this error, i came across
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/03/msg13096.html, which seems
related. unluckily, there are no answers.

any ideas what could cause this problem?

best regards,
johannes resch
