Subject: [PATCH] ci: print the UI tool versions without needing a display

xdotool version opens the X display and fails before Xvfb runs ("Can't open display: (null)"), which failed the Install UI tools step in run 38702315040 and skipped the smoke test. dpkg-query prints the installed versions instead.
