Julien,
After some more Google searching, I found that something was weird with
xlibs-data/x11-kbd-utils. The latter didn't have anything installed
in /usr/bin for me. A reinstall put the proper binaries in the folder.
xkbcomp failed because it didn't exist on my system :-).
Another user had similar problems, which seem to be related to the
deprecation of xlibs-data[1]. Perhaps there is something amiss there.
In any case, my issue is resolved.
Best regards,
Nathan A. Stine
