Arabic layout broken in karmic

[أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy)]

Binary package hint: console-setup

Hello,

  Please find my /etc/default/console-setup config attached. This configuration used to work, I was able to toggle between arabic & us keyboard layouts by tapping right Alt key, now this does not work anymore in karmic. Meaning that I can only write in english on the console, and tapping right Alt key doesn't switch to arabic anymore.

This bug was fixed in the package console-setup - 1.34ubuntu3

---------------
console-setup (1.34ubuntu3) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Loïc Minier ]
  * Use `dpkg --print-architecture` instead of the obsolete
    --print-installation-architecture in debian/config.proto (LP: #403316).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Forbid Unicode keysyms in the range 0xf000-0xffff, as kbd 1.15-1 rejects
    the entire keymap if it contains any keysyms in that range (LP:
    #416949).
  * Add default codeset/layout/variant for Asturian.
  * Backport from trunk (Jordi Mallach):
    - Set XKBVARIANT to "cat" for Catalan.
