Sorry, I'm guessing for some reason you were left out of the thread...
why that is, I'm not certain.  Here's the thread:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110839452000005&r=1&w=2

The problem is that with 6.8.0-r4 through 6.8.1.903 (I think those were
the versions), you had:

dir /usr/X11R6
sym /usr/X11R6/lib -> ../lib
sym /usr/X11R6/lib64 -> ../lib64

Additionally, amd64 has either of these:
sym /usr/lib64 -> lib
sym /usr/lib -> lib64

The problem is that when you go up to 6.8.2, rsync will overwrite the
symlink (-> lib) with the one in the X11R6 dir (-> ../lib64).  The check
I put in there detects this problem (and additionally corrects it for
lib32 as well).
