Ok, thanks for the clarification. What I did was run strace on localectl in a Fedora 29 VM which showed that it accessed the files in /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/, so I ran # rpm -qf /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/ kbd-misc-2.0.4-9.fc29.noarch # dnf info kbd-misc Last metadata expiration check: 2 days, 7:10:31 ago on Thu Nov 15 15:06:02 2018.

Thanks for your reply. Regards, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
