Hello:

I could not find a package for ubuntu noble, and the one for the 
previous ubuntu version, mantic, did not work. I had no previous 
experience tinkering with debian packages, but it turned out to be very 
simple. I unpacked the deb package for mantic, and in the DEBIAN/control 
file, I replaced

Since ubuntu noble does includes none of locate, slocate or mlocate, but 
instead plocate. I recompiled the package and it worked, so I wanted to 
share the experience. Simply unpacking the software and creating a 
simlink did not get the correct keyboard layout, but the installation 
from the deb package did.

Thanks for the great software.
