The problem was found by Nicola Bolla <nicola.bolla at erogasmet.it> :

 Pre Breezy,  /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc  was a directory.
  On Breezy,  /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc  needs to be a file.


If you have a file on your system  /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc.dpkg-new
then (as root) :

  Rename directory /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc (to something else)
  Rename the /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc.dpkg-new  file
         to  /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc
  (reboot)
