Dear Maintainer,

The eurosign option does not work any more and I cannot produce the euro symbol
using
the keyboard. I use GNOME and I have set the 'EURO on E' option in Gnome Tweak
Tool. This
used to allow me to enter the euro sign using <AltGr-e>.

If I try to set the option manually, I get the following:
---
$ setxkbmap -option 'eurosign:e' -v 10
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
Success.
Applied rules from evdev:
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us,bg,ca,us
variant:    ,,multix,
options:
eurosign:e,ctrl:nocaps,numpad:microsoft,kp_remap:navigation,grp:menu_toggle,eurosign:e
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   evdev+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete+numpad(microsoft)
compat:     complete
symbols:
pc+us+bg:2+ca(multix):3+us:4+inet(evdev)+group(menu_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)+eurosign(e)
geometry:   pc(pc105)

and the following error messages in the log:
--- Oct 21 20:19:06 gnzhome gdm-Xorg-:0[28717]: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Oct 21 20:19:06 gnzhome gdm-Xorg-:0[28717]: > Warning: Multiple definitions of the FOUR_LEVEL_KEYPAD key type Oct 21 20:19:06 gnzhome gdm-Xorg-:0[28717]: > Earlier definition ignored Oct 21 20:19:06 gnzhome gdm-Xorg-:0[28717]: > Error: Key <MDSW> added to map for multiple modifiers Oct 21 20:19:06 gnzhome gdm-Xorg-:0[28717]: > Using Mod3, ignoring Mod5. Oct 21 20:19:06 gnzhome gdm-Xorg-:0[28717]: Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server --- After that, I still cannot produce the euro symbol in any of the layouts that I use. Thank you for maitaining this package.
