Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.5+1
File: /usr/bin/xkbcomp
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I've just upgraded my system.  I can no longer switch layouts in X.  I
have

    Option      "XkbLayout" "us(dvorak),us,ru(common)"

in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which was working beautifully before the
upgrade.

Running xkbsel results in:

    $ xkbsel us
    Error:            success in unknown
                      Couldn't write keyboard description to :0.0
    /usr/bin/xkbcomp exited abnormally: 256

Here's the debug output:

Running the failing command from a shell is no different:

    $ /usr/bin/xkbcomp -o ':0.0' '/var/lib/xkbsel/compiled/xfree86/us.xkm'
    Error:            success in unknown
                      Couldn't write keyboard description to :0.0

However, the following commands work and do switch the keyboard
layout:

    $ setxkbmap us
    $ setxkbmap us -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY

xkbsel was removed from debian in 2010[1], closing this bug on the
assumption it was an xkbsel issue.
