Bug Description
Binary package hint: console-setup
Ubuntu-release: 8.10
Package-version: 1.25ubuntu4
While playing around with a German Keyboard Layout called 'neo' using the xkb-key-type 'EIGHT_LEVEL' I noticed that Level5 isn't invoked correctly by solely defining 'ISO_Level5_Shift' on the desired key (also see https:/
This however is resolved by mapping 'ISO_Level5_Shift' to the real modifier 'Mod3' (works with X environment).
When running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' to compile the layout for the console I get these warnings:
WARNING: Unknown X keysym "ISO_Level5_Shift"
As a result Level5 isn't working in tty* (just getting the symbols of Level1). I want to mention that it IS defined in '/usr/include/
'ISO_Level3_Shift' for Level3 is working fine.

On upgrade to console-setup 1.34ubuntu14 I get this log message multiple times:
