Keyboard broken

Sometime since last Tuesday, the xserver is failing with the info below.
I don't see a file evdev *anywhere* in the tree or in the
distro's /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules.  I'm also specifying 'Option
"XkbRules" "xorg"' in my xorg.conf.  What is this file?  Where does it
come from?  And why is its nonexistence suddenly breaking the xserver?

(EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules
file /opt/xorg-master-x86_64/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
