depends: libxcb-util-keysyms 0.4.1
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates a dependency used by Bitcoin Core's build system from version 0.4.0 to 0.4.1 of libxcb-util-keysyms, a small helper library for X11 keyboard handling. The change itself is a routine version bump with a new checksum. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability, but updating dependencies can sometimes address bugs or security issues in the upstream library.
Verify upstream libxcb-util-keysyms 0.4.1 release notes for any security fixes. If the upstream release addresses a vulnerability, consider backporting or noting it in release notes. Otherwise, treat as a routine maintenance update.
