Rebuild with bumped version is enough to make it work again: x11-common
conflicts with the very version which is in repository (to avoid
installing ABI-incompatible version I believe, but I did not check it
hard enough).

I want to confirm that this package is not prepared in right way. And it
is pity as xxkb is very cool keyboard switcher; I guess it could be very

install it to GNOME desktop too.
$ sudo apt-get install xxkb
