I found that the ckbcomp call (line 1144 of setupcon) fails somehow, the 
generated file (which then should be used by loadkeys) only contains

        keymaps 0-4,6,8,10,12,14
        strings as usual

However, I suppose it should contain several "keycode x = <code> <code> <code>"
lines, right?

The complete call for dz(la) is:
        "usr/bin/ckbcomp -backspace del -model pc105 dz la >$TMPFILE"

Executing this on a Debian buster system, gives a lot of output with
above mentioned "keycode x = ..." lines. So I guess that is ok.
(Setting keymap to dz(la) with setupcon on such buster system works fine BTW!)


Diagnosting where is the difference between a running Debian stable system
and the d-i environment shows, that in the d-i 'ckbcomp' is a symlink to
ckbcomp-mini.

So, I wonder what's the difference between ckbcomp and -mini?
Any ideas, why the latter fails?


Holger
