Package: xlibs-data
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n


After updating xlibs from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8, the "<>"-key of
my German keyboard stopped to send ASCII strings in X.

In the net, I found the advice to purge and reinstall xlibs. After that, the
"<>"-key works, but Alt-R and Alt-L both send an escape character. 
This makes programming almost impossible, as e.g. brackets, curly braces and
backslash are only reachable with Alt-L == AltGr.

grep XKB /var/log/XFree86.0.log reveales

/var/log/XFree86.0.log:(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
/var/log/XFree86.0.log:(**) XKB: model: "pc102"
/var/log/XFree86.0.log:(**) XKB: layout: "de"
/var/log/XFree86.0.log:(**) XKB: variant: "nodeadkeys"
/var/log/XFree86.0.log:Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

changing the keymap with xkbsel to xfree86(de) works but selects the default
"deadkey" variant of de. 

Sincerely

Guenter Milde
