Hmm. Seems plausible, but I went through quite a few libX11 uploads without losing my diversion: I would've noticed quite quickly, as the failure mode (which prompted the xkbcomp 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 releases) with my local XKB dataset and any distribution-shipped libX11 involved my entire keyboard doing nothing at all under X. > Do you have any backups of the /var/lib/dpkg/diversions file? Unfortunately not, I'm afraid. Is there any more information I can provide? Cheers, Daniel
