Bug#277094: setxkbmap us_intl: Error loading new keyboard description
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Hi,
until recently, I was able to switch between a standard US and an
international US keyboard layout in my XFree86. Since my last debian
testing update, this is no longer the case.
The following commands are typed in the console:
#############################
I type:
setxkbmap us
works fine
##############################
I type:
setxkbmap de
works fine
##############################
I type:
setxkbmap us_intl
Output:
Error loading new keyboard description
(end output)
New keyboard layout is not loaded
##############################
I type:
strace -e trace=open setxkbmap us_intl
Output:
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)

// Dead-keys definition for a very simple US/ASCII layout.
// by Conectiva (http://www.conectiva.com.br)
// modified by Ricardo Y. Igarashi (iga@that.com.br)
// Added the following deadkeys, to make it truly international:
//
// dead_macron: on AltGr-minus
// dead_breve: on AltGr-parenleft
// dead_abovedot: on AltGr-period
// dead_abovering: on AltGr-0
// dead_doubleacute: on AltGr-equal (as quotedbl is already used)
// dead_caron: on AltGr-less (AltGr-shift-comma)
// dead_cedilla: on AltGr-comma
// dead_ogonek: on AltGr-semicolon
// dead_belowdot: on AltGr-underscore (AltGr-shift-minus)
// dead_hook: on AltGr-question
// dead_horn: on AltGr-plus (AltGr-shift-equal)
// dead_diaeresis: on AltGr-colon (Alt-shift-semicolon)
//
// those were already there:
// dead_grave
// dead_acute
// dead_circumflex
// dead_tilde
// dead_diaeresis
partial default alphanumeric_keys

name[Group1]= "US/ASCII";
