On my system it is a symlink to /var/lib/xkb, which contains two files: .keep_x11-apps_xkbcomp-0 README.compiled The README is an orphan and the .keep belongs to x11-apps/xkbcomp-1.0.3, which compiles in something like 20 seconds. So, it'll be easiest to remerge xkbcomp to create the needed dir, then continue with your world update alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
