alacritty: Failed to open input method: PotentialInputMethods

Seems similar to https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/1574. ~I suspect it has something to do with my remote usage.~

I’ve tried the latest git, with no change in result.

I’ve not tried previous versions, but only since I know I’ve only ever had this version installed.

I’ll try different versions further today.
