Bug#622185: xkb-data: I'm having the same problem

Package: xkb-data
Followup-For: Bug #622185


Hi there,

I'm encountering exactly the same problem when trying to use Caps_Lock
as a general modifier using xmodmap.  Just as Konstantin said, this is
fixed by downgrading xkb-data from version 2.1-2 (unstable) to version
1.8-2 (stable).

I haven't tried the workaround (which looks like a more elegant
approach), but I don't believe its existence closes the bug - xmodmap
should work as well.
