bug#65068: 29.1; xkb-interception interaction causes problems with key combinations

[Alexander Prähauser]

After I couldn't resolve the keyboard issue I reinstalled an old 
binary version from the Arch archives but I've now
downloaded the Emacs source files and tried to apply the patch in 
that local directory. However, I get the error
message:

I tried again after compiling Emacs with make and got the same 
error. I didn't install that Emacs version though so not
to overwrite my current one. If necessary I can install a 
source-compiled Emacs version on another system though, but I
wanted to ask before if that might be useful.
