Request for help: Bug#76819

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Hello,

I wonder if this is a problem of the XFree 4.0.1 packages because
many other packages ship their app-defaults in this directory.  Could
someone who followed the current XFree 4.0.1 package development give
me a hint how to handle this?

wordnet: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults conflicts with xlib
