📄 Description

With xkeyboard-config 2.45, many programs fail to start, such as:
Firefox, Thunderbird, Gajim, KeepassXC, GoldenDict, and Zathura.
Example[1]:

Reading profile /etc/firejail/zathura.profile
[...]
Reading profile /etc/firejail/whitelist-usr-share-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/whitelist-var-common.inc
firejail version 0.9.75

[...]
Child process initialized in 197.83 ms
xkbcommon: ERROR: failed to add default include path /usr/share/X11/xkb
xkbcommon: ERROR: failed to add default include path /usr/share/X11/xkb

Parent is shutting down, bye...

It seems that in xkeyboard-config 2.45 the path was changed from:

/usr/share/X11/xkb

To:

/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2

With the former now being a symlink to the latter and with the goal of
using a versioning scheme for the directories, in order to introduce new
file formats with breaking changes while keeping backwards compatibility
in the current file format[2] [3].

Fixes #6773.

Thanks to @oddfellow for finding the root cause and the relevant commit.
