[Bug 1594587] Re: package keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu15.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[ironstorm]

/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info
/keyboard-configuration.postinst configure 1.108ubuntu15

This crap is blocking me from properly updating my system, I'm
attempting to upgrade over ssh inside a byobu session.

adding set -x to the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-
configuration.postinst and manually rerunning it, it stalls here (line
128):

+ which setxkbmap
+ local IFS
+ IFS=:
+ [ -x /usr/local/sbin/setxkbmap ]
+ [ -x /usr/local/bin/setxkbmap ]
+ [ -x /usr/sbin/setxkbmap ]
+ [ -x /usr/bin/setxkbmap ]
+ echo /usr/bin/setxkbmap
+ return 0
+ setxkbmap -option  -model pc105 us
^C

Running "setxkbmap -option  -model pc105 us" stalls at the terminal as
well suggesting the problem is actually with x11-xkb-utils or something.
