Trying to avoid a problem discussed on the developers' list, I snarfed the latest sysvinit and kbd off Incoming of a mirror this morning, and installed over what was probably the offending pair. The new packages are:
kbd_0.95-6_i386.deb and sysvinit_2.74-2_i386.deb Unhappily, at the end of the simultaneous install, dpkg reported that /etc/rcS.d/S05keymaps.sh was now not a link to the correct file. This meant that I had to intervene. I didn't know what to do. I make the indicated symlink, but fear to turn off my machine unitl I am sure that I did the right thing. This is as I have linked it: S05keymaps.sh -> ../init/keymaps.sh I seek confirmation as to whether my machine is now ok. Alan Davis -- "Our loyalties are to the species and the Alan E. Davis planet.
