Symptoms: /usr/doc/X11 is empty, the symlink is ok. After looking through the scripts, I'm almost positive that the problem is with the preinst script. For reasons I don't quite understand, this one seems to blow away those files. My understanding is that we're changing from /usr/doc/X11 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc -> /usr/doc/X11 Right? I suspect that the old symlink is still there during unpacking, or something like that. MfG Kai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
