Thank you Alan!

I checked actually xkbcomp was already in place and has newest available in
repo version

$ dpkg -s x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.6+4

And I installed xkb-data and xkb-data-i18n

$ dpkg -s xkb-data
Package: xkb-data
Status: install ok installed
Source: xkeyboard-config
Version: 2.5-1ubuntu1.5
Breaks: libx11-6 (<< 2:1.4.3)

$ dpkg -s xkb-data-i18n
Package: xkb-data-i18n
Status: install ok installed
Source: xkeyboard-config

First one shows some breaks but the lib it depends on is also of latest
version in repo and apt-get doesn't show anything needs to be fixed so I'm
not sure this is the causer.

I noticed it tries to create xkb file in tmp dir so I moved it temprorary
to check if it failes to create the file and it actually shows the same
error:

[351899.582] (II) XKB: generating xkmfile
/tmp/server-02D8252E59564A234380F1E5417646A9DB3B7452.xkm
[351899.583] (EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp
[351899.583] (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap

Could anyone please help with investigation?

I attached config file.

Regards,
Viktor
