It was removed in the dist-upgrade and when attempting > to reinstall the following messages appear: Yes, the removal of /usr/X11R6/bin/ needs to be an all-or-nothing transition, because the symlink that puts this directory in the user's path, /usr/bin/X11, is being pointed elsewhere in X11R7. The x11-common package now conflicts with all other packages that install to /usr/X11R6/bin, so xlockmore needs to be updated to install its files under /usr instead of under /usr/X11R6. It also means that in the end we can provide a better upgrade path, by turning /usr/X11R6/bin into a compat symlink pointing to /usr/bin so absolute path references continue to work for etch.
