Hmm.  Sorry about that.

I'd suggest we just remove the attempt to install the package for now,
building libxdp from sources may be a little painful to maintain.

Can be re-added later once distributions with libxdp 1.4+ will be more
widely available, i.e. when fedora dockerfile will be updated to 39,
for example.  That should be soon-ish, right?
