[package] xorg/system: false positive of missing requirements: xtrans-dev xkb-data

Description

While trying to run conan install on Ubuntu 22.04 docker/podman image, the xorg/system package started giving false positive errors for missing system packages: xtrans-dev and xkb-data.

This only started happening in the last few days as our CI was failing for Ubuntu 22.04 builds. Ubuntu 18.04 builds don’t seem to be affected.

Below is the error I was getting along with proof that the “missing” packages are installed

I am running this in a isolated podman container based off ubuntu 22.04.

My Linux Mint 21 (based off Ubuntu 22.04) seems to be working though.

Having our builds tactically nuked by breaking changes to conan center recipes is becoming really concerning. This is not the first time this has happened.
