The following is indeed counter-intuitive: console-data creates the keyboard configuration but kbd or console-tools contain the scripts that implement it. Keyboard-configuration creates the keyboard configuration but console-setup contains the scripts that implement it. One specific of kbd is that it refuses to configure the console if console-setup is installed. Unfortunately due to #614127 console-setup doesn't work with the experimental version of xkb-data you installed. Thats why the console was leaved unconfigured after the reboot. This has nothing to do with console-data. Please notice, that on your machine the console has been configured by console-setup and not by kbd/console-data since (perhaps) a long time. Console-data was a package that did nothing. > after installation : dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration change > the keyboard. > > Now, the question is why but I have no time to check right now.

Some additional information from the original submitter (Javier Vasquez) is required before this can be done. Javier, do you have console-setup installed on your machine? If yes, then what is the version of the package xkb-data and what happens if you run "setupcon" on the console? Anton Zinoviev P.S. I hope tomorow I will be able to upload a fixed version of console-setup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
