Created attachment 678181 [details] build.log I don't know if it's just my USE combo or if it's unconditionally required, but on my headless server w/ qemu (and no X or X libraries, generally speaking) I am getting a build failure when xkeyboard-config isn't installed. Problem goes away after installing x11-misc/xkeyboard-config which provides the missing ruiles/evdev file.

I guess /usr/bin/qemu-keymap does not work if it's for older qemu (but i'm not sure yet where rules/evdev path comes from. As a wild experiment: if you move away /usr/bin/qemu-keymap for a period of emerge will it fail or succeed for you?
Staring at meson.build I think x11-libs/libxkbcommon is only used to re-generate keymaps. Otherwise existing prebuilt keymaps are used. Missing rules/evdev sounds like a bug in x11-libs/libxkbcommon dependency itself, but it makes things a bit complex across RDEPEND/BDEPEND to express it correctly as a dep. I suggest disabling keymap re-generation entirely.

It has a few problems: - present /usr/bin/qemu-keymaps is preferred over locally built one - /usr/bin/qemu-keymaps can't be ran on a system without x11-misc/xkeyboard-config Let's rely on prebuilt keymaps.
