This bug was fixed in the package kbd - 2.5.1-1ubuntu1 --------------- kbd (2.5.1-1ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes: - Add setfont, kbd_mode, and loadkeys to initramfs for console-setup. - Added initramfs hook to have setfont/loadkeys available in initramfs. - Use ckbcomp to get the keyboard layout if other data files are not available. - Change loadkeys to find any console not in raw mode when invoked without an explicit console parameter, in case the foreground console is in raw mode. - Add setvtrgb to kbd-udeb. - Fix incorrect keymap sanity check in loadkeys_ckbcomp.diff. - debian/control: Depend on console-setup | console-setup-mini, since console-setup-mini also Depends on kbd now through console-setup-linux. - debian/patches/loadkeys_find_usable_console.diff: fix wrong type argument to ioctl(..., KDGKBMODE), which causes consoles to not be correctly detected on 64-bit archs. LP: #1621824. * Removed obsolete patches/changes: - d/p/fix_use_after_free.patch to clean up a use-after-free of pipe_cmd, now merged upstream. * New upstream release drops deprecated ioctls removed in Linux v5.12.
