Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.3+1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/setxkbmap

My X has the habit of losing its keyboard modifiers while working on
X. This used to be fixed by invoking setxkbmap .xkbmap with the
following .xkbmap file:

$ cat .xkbmap
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+de+compose(rwin)"   };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"     };
};
$ 

This has stopped working recently:

$ setxkbmap .xkbmap
Error loading new keyboard description

Stracing setxkbmap shows that the code is trying to read from
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0, gets EAGAIN and bombs out.

Any hints will be appreciated.

Greetings
Marc
