- Subject: xkb-data: many files in /etc/X11/xkb (from xlibs) orphaned in X11R7 transition
- From: Andrew Pimlott <andrew@pimlott.net>

Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-5
Severity: normal
When upgrading through the transition to X11R7, I purged the xlibs
package and installed xkb-data. I got many warnings:
dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/symbols' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/rules' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/geometry' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/compat' not empty so not removed.
dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb' not empty so not removed.
And in the end, many files were left under /etc/X11/xkb. (A full list
is at the end.) No package claims ownership of these files (and dlocate
confirms that the purged version of xlibs did not own them). I don't
know how this happened, but this scenario was repeated exactly on two
separate systems. On neither did I ever change any xkb conffiles. It's
possible that this condition has existed for a long time, and that the
bug is in an older version of xlibs.
I'm filing this against xkb-data because 1) it now owns the xkb files
and 2) people upgrading may remove xlibs, so there is no chance to fix
the problem there.
Here is the list of orphaned files under /etc/X11/xkb:
geometry/omnibook
compat/group_led
compat/leds
