Running desktop cinnamon 5.4.9.

After updating to xkeyboard-config version 2.36-3, I get the following error popup at startup or when trying to make changes to the keyboard configuration via cinnamon's keyboard settings app.

"Error activating XKB configuration" (+ also a description prompting to include the below information)

~ > xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us,us", ",colemak", "caps:none"
~ > gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard model
''
~ > gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts
['us', 'us\tcolemak']
~ > gsettings get org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard options
['caps\tcaps:none']


Downgrading to 2.36-2 fixed the issue.
This task depends upon

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems that this aur package is quite out of date, but I did manage to get it built and installed here.

The error is not present with the latest git build of xkeyboard-config
