-rw-r--r--          22k  2003-10-07 01:49  libxrender1_0.8.3-1_i386.deb

The new version of libXrender moves from /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib
which has already started to cause build failures... :\  I am not
certain if Branden plans to move any others to /usr/lib, but if he does
hopefully he will do it very soon.
