Package: xkb-data
Severity: important

The xkb-data package renders the keyboard inoperable from with an X 
windows session. The keyboard behaves fine from the console outside of 
X.

When X is running, if a letter is typed into the x terminal window, the 
letter appears in the terminal, but the scroll lock light comes on. When 
another letter is typed, the scroll lock light goes out, and either the 
previous letter typed is deleted, or the key behaves as an enter key, 
entering the previously typed single letter as a shell command in the x 
terminal window. If a letter key is pressed again, the cycle repeats, 
with the
scroll lock lighting up again, and a single letter appearing, followed 
by the scroll lock going out, and again a deletion or false enter.

This problem was observed on an IBM compatible PC, using a traditional 
101 key United Kingdom AT keyboard connected to the keyboard input 
connector on the back of the computer (In this case via an AT to PS/2 
adapter cable).

The keyboard works fine from Debian Etch, and works ok from the console 
in Debian Lenny (apart from an insert key bug, which occasionally 
requires the insert key to be pressed in order to operate the cursor 
keys from the shell command line.)
