[SOLVED] keyboard layout no longer exists?

Hi there,

I noticed my keyboard layout switched back from azerty to qwerty. Also, latest upgrade shows my keyboard layout can't be opened

I suppose this is related. Has fr_latin9 been removed?

I don't see it in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts, so I guess that means yes. Maybe you can see if you can pull an old kbd package from the Arch Rollback Machine and stick the layout in there (and maybe the font too... not sure how that works).

As I have /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin9.map.gz on my system, you could try replacing the underscore by an hyphen.

Yes, I eventually figured this out by myself by looking for an alternative azerty layout. Thanks you both for your help.
