Hi list, Long story short: xkeyboard-config 2.45 has changed the install location of XKB data files after a few decades of a single (often hardcoded) path. The new path is /usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2 and the old path /usr/share/X11/xkb is a symlink to the new path.
RPM isn't happy with replacing a directory with a symlink and I've pondered and tried (and failed at) a great many things of how to best fix only to return at the simplest solution: the old directory is rpmmoved as (dis)recommended per the instructions [1] and the new location is symlinked. This keeps us in line with upstream and other distros (suse does the same rpmmoved approach) and thus all documentation still applies for us. It's a short-term pain because you will need to manually remove the /usr/share/X11/xkb.rpmmoved directory but that's life. If you have modified data files (e.g. the custom layout) you will need to move those from the rpmmoved directory to the corresponding new location.
