Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.2
Package_Revision: 5
Installation of this package fails in preinst on a newly-installed
0.93R6 system because /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 do not exist.
The patch below corrects this problem. However, with this patch
installed, the package goes on to fail installation as follows:
Script started on Thu Dec 21 17:32:13 1995
root:x11# dpkg --install xbasewtm.deb
(Reading database ... 12018 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking xbase (from xbasewtm.deb) ...

directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
