Not yet, the realization that it was a necessity kind of came on too fast for me. Actually, binNMU's for all the packages should, in theory, be sufficient for a fix. We'll be installing a compatibility symlink in place of /usr/X11R6/bin (to /usr/bin) and packages should be able to install cleanly. We just need to make sure they do so after x11-common sets that symlink up. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
