Bug Description

Binary package hint: xmodmap

xmodmap's man page contains:

        keysym KEYSYMNAME = KEYSYMNAME ...
               The KEYSYMNAME on the left hand side is translated into matching keycodes used to perform the corresponding set of keycode expressions. The list of keysym names may be found in the header file <X11/keysymdef.h> (without the XK_ prefix) or the keysym database /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. Note that if the same keysym is bound to multiple keys, the expression is executed for each matching keycode.

which claims the keysym database is in /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB, but this file does not exist. It appears to be /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB in current feisty.

Package versions:
xmodmap:
  Installed: 1:1.0.1-0ubuntu1

libx11-data:
  Installed: 2:1.0.3-4ubuntu1
