Bug#461521: xkb-data: olpc variants break af group
Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1
Severity: normal
setxkbmap chokes on the olpc-enhanced Afghanistan map. Apparently they
are using unrecognized symbols.
I first noticed this starting up gnome-settings-daemon. On the console,
it complained about the "tilde" symbol on line 220. I changed it to
asciitilde. Then it complained about the next line. Picking up on a
pattern, I didn't bother to investigate further and just deleted all the
olpc sections from the file, with success. Suffice it to say they are
broken, and it appears that the addition of broken variants (even if
they're not used) causes the entire map to be broken.
