>Description:
When I call xelatex on a file, I am returned a LaTeX error that 'l3backend-xdvipdfmx.def' cannot be found.  

I input <RETURN> at the error and the process continues (presumeably, it finds another suitable backend?) and then outputs the pdf that I want. 
>How-To-Repeat:
$cat > mwe.tex
\documentclass{article} 
\begin{document}
Hello world!
\end{document}

$ xelatex mwe.tex
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.999992 (Web2C 2020) (preloaded format=xelatex)
