Package: xorg-x11
Severity: normal
I tried to upgrade from the xfree86 x packages to the x.org ones by
upgrading x-window-system. After the upgrade I noticed that AltGr-q,
which should generage an '@' in my locale didn't work any more.
I looked at the xkb rules, and it was still set to "xfree86".
Looking around in /etc/X11/xkb/rules I didn't find an xorg rule, so
I thought this would be ok.
I finally solved the problem days later at a local LUG when I
compared my config with that of another xorg user, and finding that
I didn't have the xorg xkb rule. One upgrade of xlibs later (to the
x.org version) and restarting X the problem was gone.
So I think it would be nice to have xlibs upgraded automatically to
the xorg version uppon installing of x-window-system.
TIA,
Christian Aichinger

Hi there. The only way to do this is to either make things very complex and
hard to maintain, or version everything explicitly so that people have no
choice if they want to upgrade only parts of X. I'd rather not do that.
Besides, this package is only a metapackage, and isn't meant to upgrade
everything by itself. As such, I'm closing this bug report.
