in ubuntu 14.04 xkbcomp has no compat/default file

[Arie Skliarouk]

xkb-data 2.5.1-3ubuntu2 (as provided by ubuntu 13.10) had file /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/default.

The file is not provided in xkb-data 2.10.1-1ubuntu1 (ubuntu 14.04). This breaks xkbcomp loading of custom keymap:

xkbcomp -R/usr/share/X11/xkb/ /home/arie/bin/russian.xkb $DISPLAY
Error: Can't find file "default" for compat include
                  Exiting
                  Abandoning compatibility map "myrussian"

Thank you for your bug report. That should probably be reported upstream on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xkeyboard-config

Can you pls provide

/home/arie/bin/russian.xkb

?

[Arie Skliarouk (skliarie)]

Created attachment 98051
russian.xkb for loading russian xkb keymap

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (svu)]

xkb_compatibility { include "default" };

That line is wrong. Should be "complete"

upstream said it's an issue in the user file, not a bug, closing
