[SOLVED] initcpio keymap loadkeys not found

Hi, whenever I run `mkinitcpio -P`, this error always shows up: `/usr/lib/initcpio/install/keymap: line 21: loadkeys: command not found`

My mkinitcpio.conf:

```
MODULES=(usbhid xhci_hcd intel_agp i915)

BINARIES=(btrfs)

FILES=(/etc/keys/cryptlvm.keyfile)

HOOKS=(base udev keyboard autodetect keymap consolefont modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems resume fsck)
```

This error started appearing this morning--I have never seen it before.

loadkeys not found

pacman -Qo loadkeys /usr/bin/loadkeys
error: No package owns loadkeys

pacman -Qikk kbd
error: package 'kbd' was not found

EDIT: I installed the kbd package and it worked!

Re: [SOLVED] initcpio keymap loadkeys not found

It's a hard dependency for systemd.
Unless you're trying to use openrc etc. you may want to check your pacman log whether you screwed up beyond the kbd package.
