[Rawhide] loadkeys broken (a.k.a your password is not recognized? Worry not)

[Dodji Seketeli]

Hello,

After upgrading this box from F18 to Rawhide between yesterday night
and today and tried several times to type my password to no avail, I
realized the system (systemd actually) couldn't load my "fr" keymap.

You can see something like this in the logs:

    $ loadkeys fr
    unknown keysym 'compose'
    /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr.map.gz:540: syntax error
    syntax error in map file
    key bindings not changed
    Loading /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr.map.gz

This is due to to a bug in the loakdkeys program from the package
kbd-1.15.5-1.fc19.  The bug is reported (and fixed already!, kudos to
Vitezslav Crhonek) at [1].  The fixed package is kbd-1.15.5-2.fc19.

So until the fix package hits your Rawhide mirror, you might want too
add --exclude=kbd\* to your yum update command, or add an
'exclude=kbd*' to your /etc/yum.conf.

Happy riding on Rawhide!
