Package: lesstif2 Version: 1:0.94.4-2 Severity: important [ I don't know whether this bug belongs to lesstif2 or libx11-data, the package containing XKeysymDB. Please reassign it there if you think I've picked wrongly... ]
Since upgrading to etch, various apps I have that are linked with lesstif are complaining vocally at startup, for example: $ xpdf Julius.pdf Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfActivate Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfActivate: ManagerParentActivate()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfBeginLine Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfBeginLine: ManagerGadgetTraverseHome()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfHelp: ManagerGadgetHelp()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfHelp: ManagerGadgetHelp()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfActivate Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfActivate: PrimitiveParentActivate()' Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfHelp Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfHelp: Help()' Some apps seem to work correctly despite these errors, but others (like xpdf) then fail to accept keyboard input altogether. Hence the "important" severity above. Googling suggests this is a problem with failure to find the XKeysymDB file, and that seems to be the case here. XKeysymDB is installed as /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB, but lesstif2 is not looking there. Instead, it's looking in /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. Putting a sym-link in place makes things work as normal without the errors. I'm assuming that /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB is the correct location now for this file, but apps aren't looking in the right place. Thanks, -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
