Package: xkb-data Version: 0.8-5 Severity: normal When upgrading through the transition to X11R7, I purged the xlibs package and installed xkb-data. I got many warnings:
dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/symbols' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/rules' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/geometry' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb/compat' not empty so not removed. dpkg - warning: while removing xlibs, directory `/etc/X11/xkb' not empty so not removed. And in the end, many files were left under /etc/X11/xkb. (A full list is at the end.) No package claims ownership of these files (and dlocate confirms that the purged version of xlibs did not own them). I don't know how this happened, but this scenario was repeated exactly on two separate systems. On neither did I ever change any xkb conffiles. It's possible that this condition has existed for a long time, and that the bug is in an older version of xlibs. I'm filing this against xkb-data because 1) it now owns the xkb files and 2) people upgrading may remove xlibs, so there is no chance to fix the problem there.
