unable to open the include file euro2 syntax error, unexpected ERROR

I formatted my Arch Linux and reinstalled for some reasons I wanted to start over

After installation, a very strange error appeared.

In the chrooted installation I created the file /etc/vconsole.conf and wrote:

 KEYMAP=pt-latin1 

And then I saved it and that was fine. But later, when the system started, after the installaton, it still continues with the US keymap and not with pt-latin1

And I read some threads and saw the command

 usr/lib/systemd/systemd-vconsole-setup 

And it gave the following output:

 unable to open the include file euro2 
syntax error, unexpected ERROR 
/usr/bin/loadkeys failed with exit status 1. 

And it never happened to me. Can someone help me?

There are several threads on that topic in the forums.

Can you indicate some threads?
I looked and i can't find. I'm a little new to this (new to the arch forum, not arch linux)

Does it show the same error if you try another keymap? Even just `us`?

I fixed it, trying pt-latin1 to pt-latin9

You probably need both "1" and "9" enabled for general use. 

Please mark your thread as [SOLVED].

Re: unable to open the include file euro2 syntax error, unexpected ERROR

philo, how does one enable "both 1 and 9"? You either loadkeys pt-latin1 or pt-latin9, not both.

Also, turns out this is actually a bug, with a fix currently in [testing], so this is rather just "kinda fixed, eventually", and it was certainly a valid question by Devvilas.
I don't think the dismissive tone and/or links to a bunch of unrelated threads was necessary here…
