libxkbcommon participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture bootstrap. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked for easily droppable dependencies. An obvious one is cmake as libxkbcommon now uses meson. libx11-dev is less obvious. libxkbcommon now uses libxcb a lot and does not use any libx11-dev header. I'm not sure what xutils-dev was ever used for. I couldn't locate any use of it anywhere in libxkbcommon or an explanation in a changelog. Maybe it was build with xmkmf at an earlier time? I suggest dropping it as well. x11-xkb-utils and xkb-data are less obvious. I'm not sure whether they're completely unused or whether they're used in tests. The safe bet is annotating them <!nocheck>, but maybe removing them is better. Since libxkbcommon is normally reproducible, one can verify the correctness of this change. A regular build produces the very same binary artifacts as a nocheck build with all of the mentioned dependencies turned into Build-Conflicts. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
