did this file name was named xlib_4.3.0-7_all.deb.
the file that X seems to use /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/se did not get the
line that is needed though i noticed that 4.2 does not use the same way of
accessing symbols as 4.3 in 4.2 it used the ones in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols
and in 4.3 it seems to use /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc (atleast when using a
pc and 104 keyboard)
the file in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/se does have the line, but many other
errors (on my system) so with it the <> works but |, f and y doesnt for
some reason (am i the only one having this trouble?)
one test was to do setxkbmap fi (and that worked fine, everything works)
so im currently running with the fi keymap.
Think ill try and download the package again and see if its any different.
