I'm trying to install the xlibs package, but not
all of its contents get installed. (debian_version 3.1 stable) I'm trying to get /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin (an other files) to install from the xlibs package. If I: # dpkg --contents xlibs_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14_all.deb I get of list of the contents and it shows the files I am interested in. But if I: # dpkg --install xlibs_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14_all.deb the files don't get installed. I've extracted the files and the controls from this package to check if there is a preinst script or something. But there are none. The only control files are: 'conffiles', 'list', and 'md5sums'. After unpacking and poking around, I noticed a file called a [directory].dir, and it is formatted like: # grep altwin [unpacked_dir]/etc/X11/xkb/symbols.dir --p----- -m------ altwin(meta_alt) --p----- -m------ altwin(meta_win) --p----- -m------ altwin(left_meta_win) --p----- -m------ altwin(super_win) --p----- -m------ altwin(hyper_win) --p----- -m------ altwin(menu) Are the strings inside of the parenthesis a configuration flag of some sort? If so where/how do I set these flags? -Thanks Lance 'tired of poking and decided to ask a question' Rushing P.S. I'm going through all of this to try to get my stupid windows key to work. And I'm 'assuming' that the xkb symbols are what I'm missing. |
