Bug#766252: xkb-data: option eurosign does not work
Package: xkb-data
Version: 2.12-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The eurosign option does not work any more and I cannot produce the euro symbol
using
the keyboard. I use GNOME and I have set the 'EURO on E' option in Gnome Tweak
Tool. This
used to allow me to enter the euro sign using <AltGr-e>.
If I try to set the option manually, I get the following:
---
$ setxkbmap -option 'eurosign:e' -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: us,bg,ca,us
variant: ,,multix,
options:
eurosign:e,ctrl:nocaps,numpad:microsoft,kp_remap:navigation,grp:menu_toggle,eurosign:e
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types: complete+numpad(microsoft)
compat: complete
symbols:
pc+us+bg:2+ca(multix):3+us:4+inet(evdev)+group(menu_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)+eurosign(e)
geometry: pc(pc105)

and the following error messages in the log:

After that, I still cannot produce the euro symbol in any of the layouts that I
use.
Thank you for maitaining this package.
