This is what I get with =sys-apps/kbd-1.15.5-r1: # loadkeys -V ; loadkeys -v de-latin1-nodeadkeys | egrep "^Load|^Changed" loadkeys from kbd 1.15.5 Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz Changed 975 keys and 26 strings. Loaded 0 compose definitions. As you can see, keys were changed and my keyboard (Sun Type 6 USB) with german layout has the correct keys assigned. This is what I get with >=sys-apps/kbd-2.0.0 instead: # loadkeys -V ; loadkeys -v de-latin1-nodeadkeys | egrep "^Load|^Changed" loadkeys from kbd 2.0.1 Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz switching to de-latin1.map switching to qwertz-layout switching to compose switching to linux-with-alt-and-altgr switching to linux-keys-bare switching to euro2.map switching to compose.latin1 Changed 0 keys and 26 strings Loaded 158 compose definitions And still wrong keyboard layout as indicated by the output "Changed 0 keys". (On a sidenote, it seems like loadkeys from >=kbd-2.0.0 prints verbose messages to stderr and not stdout like kbd-1.15* did.) I have no idea how to debug this especially since loadkeys doesn't print any kind of warning or error. I tested kbd-2.0.0 (dug it out from the attic) and kbd-2.0.1. Both failed. In case it matters, this is a SunFire V240 where I found this problem. # emerge --info kbd Portage 2.2.10 (default/linux/sparc/13.0, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.17, 3.12.17 sparc64) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.12.17-sparc64-sun4u-with-gentoo-2.2 KiB Mem: 8307584 total, 7613672 free KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 free Timestamp of tree: Tue, 22 Apr 2014 06:00:01 +0000 ld GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.24 app-shells/bash: 4.3_p11-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.7.6, 3.3.5, 3.4.0 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.12.2 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.28-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.12.4 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.6-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.14.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.24-r2 sys-devel/gcc: 4.7.3-r1, 4.8.2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.8 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.2 sys-devel/make: 4.0-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.9 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.17 Repositories: gentoo poly-c ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="sparc ~sparc" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc3 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="sparc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/X11/Sessions /etc/X11/app-defaults /etc/X11/xinit /etc/adobe /etc/bonobo-activation /etc/ca-certificates /etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dbus-1 /etc/env.d /etc/fonts /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/foomatic /etc/games /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/gimp /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0 /etc/gre.d /etc/gtk-2.0 /etc/hp /etc/hsqldb /etc/htdig /etc/init.d /etc/iproute2 /etc/java-config-2 /etc/lftp /etc/logrotate.d /etc/ntop /etc/opt /etc/pango /etc/profile.d /etc/qt4 /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/sasl2 /etc/sensors.d /etc/sgml /etc/sound /etc/ssl /etc/ssmtp /etc/t1lib /etc/terminfo /etc/vbox /etc/xdg /etc/xinetd.d /etc/xml" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc3 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/var/tmp/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical --with-bdeps=y --misspell-suggestions=n --autounmask=n --quiet-build=n --verbose-slot-rebuilds=n" FCFLAGS="" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs collision-protect config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms sign strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" INSTALL_MASK="/etc/systemd /lib/systemd /lib32/systemd /lib64/systemd /usr/lib/systemd /usr/lib32/systemd /usr/lib64/systemd" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/var/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --omit-dir-times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/var/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/poly-c" SYNC="rsync://192.168.0.254/gentoo-portage" USE="acl berkdb bzip2 caps cli cracklib crypt cxx dri fam gcc64 gdbm gmp gnutls iconv idn innodb inotify libwww lzma maildir modules mpfr ncurses nls nptl openmp pam pcre readline session slang sparc ssl threads udev unicode xattr xml xml2 zlib" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev joystick" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="de en" OFFICE_IMPLEMENTATION="libreoffice" PHP_TARGETS="php5-5" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 python3_4" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby21" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, USE_PYTHON ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= sys-apps/kbd-2.0.1 was built with the following: USE="nls pam -test"
