Comment 10 for bug 27284

I've got a problem just like this.
Should it have a separate bug report?

I got this bug in 2 different ways:
1: Upgrading Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10
2: Fully installing Ubuntu from ZERO using 6.10 _alternate_ CD.
Didn't try it using the live cd...

The error:
My console used to work perfectly. After upgrading (or after the new installation), the problem started.
The console is screwed up. I use "Brazilian Portuguese pt_br ABNT2" keybard, and my console USED to work correctly, now it doesn't. Some keys like "/" just doesn't work. Other keys like "ç" work, but for example, when it is asking for my login name (and only on that, not after logging in), if i type for example "ááá", and press backspace, backspace just won't work... Sometimes it works with other characters...
Very very odd...
Also, the console FONT changed. This version has "ZEROS" with a little point in the middle, the others had a slash inside the zero... (this is not exactly a bug, but may be a symptom of the bug).
Running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" didn't seem to work. Even after rebooting. And I don't know exactly which options to choose... (especially when asked about those "lat1 lat15 lat8").
Since I still got an 6.06 installation on another computer, how can I compare both old and actual console configurations to try to fix them up? Which file? I think this is a very annoying bug for brazilian-portuguese-abnt2 users...

Someone needs to check if this also happens with a new install from the "desktop cd".

Is this a new bug?
