Bug#900395: xserver-xorg-input-all: keyboard no longer working after dist-upgrade

[Joachim Bauernberger]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-all
Version: 1:7.7+19
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

* What led up to the situation?

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

rebooted into multiuser.target (to not have the lightdm take over the screen)
and installed the missing xserver-xorg-input-all package which seemed to have
been removed on last upgrade ... And after the reboot the keyboard was OK again

extract from dpkg.log:

From the log it's not clear to me why xserver-xorg-input-all got removed in the

first place.

From the log it's not clear to me why xserver-xorg-input-all got removed in the
first place.

And I'm skeptical that xserver-xorg-input-all decided to uninstakk
itself. I guess we need more info here; downgrading the severity for
the time being
