Bug#397323: Info received (Follow-up: AltGr key not working anymore)

[Pascal Dupuis <Dupuis@adre.ucl.ac.be>]

Follow-up. I did a 
strace /usr/X11R6/bin/X 2>&1 | tee xorg.trace

While greping through xorg.trace, I found
write(12, "xkb_keymap \"default\" {\n    xkb_k"..., 311) = 311
close(12The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
>                   Ignoring extra symbols
> Error:            Cannot open "/var/lib/xkb/server-0.xkm" to write keyboard de
scription
>                   Exiting
)                               = 0

A quick look at /var/lib showed there was no /var/lib/xkb
directory. Addind one solved the problem.

May I suggest the xkb-data maintainers to ensure that there exist the
right directory in order for xkbcomp to generate its keymap ?

TIA
