Thanks for the report. We need a little more information:
* We need /var/cache/apt/archive/xbase-clients_4.1.0-16_*.deb. I.e.,
the file apt downloaded. Please do not email it, but put it up on
the web somewhere and provide us with a URL.
* The output of the following 3 commands:
+ grep xkbcomp /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
+ ls -l /etc/X11 /etc/X11/xkb
+ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
* What was the previous version (if any) of xbase-clients that you
were upgrading from? Was this a new install? Was there any output
from xbase-clients *before* the "Setting up xbase-clients
(4.1.0-16)" message?
