Package: xkb-data Version: 1.0~cvs.20070721-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
*** Please type your report below this line *** Hello, xkb-data 'gur' keymap is missing two characters (there may be more, however, that I may have not come across yet!) from Gurmukhi making it impossible to correctly type an article. The two characters are: 1) Unicode character: 0A72 (addak), which is ੱ 2) Unicode character: 0A5C (Rharha), which is ੜ To get (2) above by typing SHIFT+A30 (I am not sure where it should go according to the standard based on which others are placed on a keyboard, but I am guessing it can be put as SHIFT+A30), line no. 50 in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/gur may be changed to the following: key <AC07> { [], [ 0x1000A30, 0x1000A5C ] }; The first one is a bit tricky. It appears that it should be mapped to the key "X" on the US querty keyboard. Here is one way to get this, by modifying line 58 of xkb-data package to the following (this key already has two chars. assigned to it, so addak will have to typed using the modifier key): key <AB02> { [], [ 0x1000A02, 0x1000A70, 0x1000A71 ] }; The above two are just suggestions on how get around the problem. The maintainer, of course, is free to research if a better method, or a correct one, exists to solve this problem.
