crash before login screen due to libxkb-common v.0.9.0
Just updated my system with a pacman -Syu.
When login back again the system seemed to freeze each time just before showing the login screen. Here is an extract from the journal:

oct. 20 19:11:07 archc systemd[1]: systemd-coredump@0-560-0.service: Succeeded.tldr: gnome-shell fails to start on wayland and there's some process creating a core dump. Just before this happens there's an error message about xkdb "xkbcommon: ERROR: failed to add default include path /usr/share/X11/xkb" and some "MUTTER" error message.
In an attempt to have a working system, I've downgraded several packages but the culprit seems to be libxkb:
- libxkb-common-x11, libxkb-common 0.9.0 downgraded back to 0.8.4-1
Now the system functions normally again. There is no more coredump appearing in the journal. Not sure which package is responsible and don't have time to check them one by one.
There's some error message about xkdb so I reckon that this could be the origin of the issue. Any idea?
EDIT: bug is already assigned:

Re: crash before login screen due to libxkb-common v.0.9.0
Thanks! I had the same problem and found this. The package we have in common is libxkdb-common-x11, libxkdb-common. Downgrading both of these fixes GDM/GNOME.

Re: crash before login screen due to libxkb-common v.0.9.0
Thanks, this helped me to solve the problem.
However, I think the packages are named libxkb instead of libxkdb?

yes you're right, it's a typo.
