problem with sid, not being able to load keymaps


I've installed Sarge and then upgraded to unstable. Now, while booting I get an error about not being able to load the keymaps, and it also suggests to run install-keymap, which I do, but it fails with an error about not being able to connect to the shell or something.

Anyone knows how to solve this?

Hi,

run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (without the quotes)

it will asks you about keymaps. Choose what you need at this moment.
You can install unstable downright at the prompt for install by choosing

expert26

Hope that helps.

How about "dpkg-reconfigure console-data"?
