debian unstable: X keyboard map problem



hi! I need some help. Friday of last week I did an update on my debian
unstable system, and since then the X keyboard map is somehow
broken. More precisely, the AltGr key combinations do not work
anymore. This is especially annoying because I need some copy and
paste source to get an 'at' into email addresses.
I looked over the configuration files but can't find any changes.
Strange enogh, I get some islandic characters on some AltGr-
combinations,  but AltGr-q at and altGr-e euro symbol are gone.
I guess the problem lies somewhere within xbase-clients 6.8.2-10,
because /etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp and .../compiled show new mtimes,
but I have no idea how to get rid of the problem.

Any ideas?
