Hello,
It seems that the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst is not updated whenever a xkalamine install is made.
I don't know much about the xkb layout and this might be of little consequence, but I noticed that while trying to find the newly installed variant in localectl list-x11-keymap-variants fr. As the variant does not appear in this list (but setxkbmap fr -variant [myvariant] does), I strace'd the localectl to see which files were used to find this list; it seems that it only reads /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst under /usr/share/X11, and that this file refers to all the variants packaged by default.
Should this file be updated, at least to avoid weird scenarios such as this one?
Thanks!
