Trying to fullfill x11-common's postinst requests, I'm pretty certain I messed up my X11 lib / bin / include directories and symlinks.
Where can I find a description of what the standard X11 directory setup is (for sid), with details about the /usr/lib/X11 /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/include/X11 symbolic links, so I can fix my box ? Here's the detail of what happened : -------------------------------------------------------- first, x11-common.postinst claimed that /usr/bin/X11 "points to wrong location". (It was pointing to ".") I then tried various other destinations, read the postinst script for insight, and no luck. At some point I typed apt-get -f install x11-common instead of just apt-get -f install, and then got a dialog information about the symlink issue. from then on I managed to rework various symlinks : /usr/bin/X11 /usr/lib/X11 /usr/include/X11 in a way that satisfied x11-common.postinst. but now a few X programs exhibit issues. for instance xdtv : open("/usr/lib/X11/locale/common/xlcDef.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "Warning: Unable to load any usab"..., 43) = 43 and I had to alter symlinks again so it could find the X11 locale directory... I wasnt paying enough attention in the process so I can't say for sure what the precise steps where in that faulty update. I'm guessing it might all be caused by my /usr being a symlink itself... -- Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
