I have the same versions and everything is OK for me. (AFAIK these
packages should have the XKB definitions.)
What is your xorg keyboard config? You can run
awk '/Section "InputDevice/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
to see the relevant part.
Another way to poke at this is to run "xev" from an xterm (or similar)
and check what kind of key press/release events are reported for ALT,
CTRL and the function keys. Maybe this will give us a hint what is wrong
with your keyboard configuration. Do you have a special/old/unusual
keyboard?
