Binary package hint: adept

hello,
I got this error twice when starting UBUNTU 8.10 :
"Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10502000

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
"
-> here are the results asked  above :

:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "fr", "oss", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "fr", "oss", ""

:~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
 layouts = []
 model = ipaq
 options = [keypad	keypad:comma]

-> here are the results asked below :
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using:
" Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10 "
 2) The version of the package you are using:
via :
" apt-cache policy packagename
W: Impossible de trouver le paquet packagename "
   it seems not working for french installation!
via :
in synaptic / help / about (no way to copy the result: I do it manually )
" synaptic 0.62.1ubuntu10
package management program using apt (this is given in french)
 3) What you expected to happen
    a) not to get this error
    b) via OOo I tried to get the dot of the keypad as a comma for numbers as it is in french and as it worked in Excel BUT this is a minor problem and so far I am not ready to use windows again. I am satisfied of UBUNTU : speed and security
4) What happened instead:
   the error reported above

5) I tried  "ubuntu-bug XKB and  ubuntu-bug -p and  ubuntu-bug -P and
ubuntu-bug xkbcomp"  the results were package unknown. What should have
I typed to get the error report ?

regards
