See symptoms from my system:
[d:b] ~ #ls -l 
/opt/xorg/share/X11/xkb/compiled

[d:b] ~ #ls -l 
/usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled

zsh: 8225 exit 1     ls --color=auto -l /usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled

/usr/share/X11/xkb/

zsh: 8226 exit 1     ls --color=auto -l /usr/share/X11/xkb/
[d:b] ~ #ls -l 
/usr/share/X11/

ls: /usr/share/X11/: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
zsh: 8227 exit 1     ls --color=auto -l /usr/share/X11/

"Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu" means in polish tthat here is no
file or directory
So file about wchich you wrote is symlink to non existing file.
Really strange.
