Today I got
ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7
ii xlibs-data 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7
but that didn't help.
To be on the safe side I did
# dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs-data_6.8.2.dfsg.1-7_all.deb
afterwards.
So I searched again ...
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
$ strace -e open setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/libxkbfile.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libX11.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/tls/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libXau.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/tls/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/home/flip/.Xauthority", O_RDONLY) = 4
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
open("./rules/xorg-C.lst", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("./rules/xorg.lst", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg-C.lst", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Couldn't find rules file (xorg)
So I did a
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11# ln -s /etc/X11/xkb .
$ setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
and behold! my keys are working again: @~| (no smiley, the keys I fought so hard to get ;-)
And CTRL-ALT-F7 for console switch works again, too!!!
Thanks very much!

Phil
