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,
