Bug#524512: setxkbmap: -I semantics are wrong, does not "append"



Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.4+2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/setxkbmap
Tags: upstream

-I directory is supposed to append the named directory to search for
layout and rules files, according the the manpage. This does not
seem to be the case, however:

  lapse:~|master|% mkdir empty
  lapse:~|master|% setxkbmap -I empty us
  Couldn't find rules file (evdev)

I only appended an empty directory, but it should never even get
there, since the search list presumably contains /usr/share/X11/xkb.

However, maybe that's cleared when -I is specified, but then the
following should work, but does not.

  lapse:~|master|% setxkbmap -I empty -I /usr/share/X11/xkb us
  Couldn't find rules file (evdev)
