Xdvi seems to wipe out the /usr/lib/X11 link when it installs it's
app-default information. Is this perhaps a tar bug?
It looks like this package is installing files to /usr/lib/X11. This
is a bug--the package should be installing them to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11,
if it is an X11R6 package.
Another rule for X Window System packages, in addition to what I
posted yesterday:
* Packages should install all files to /usr/X11R<n>/, where <n> is the
release number of X11 (such as 6). It should not install files to the
locations /usr/bin/X11, /usr/include/X11, or /usr/lib/X11.
Right:
/usr/X11R6/bin/foo
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Foo
Wrong:
/usr/bin/X11/foo
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Foo
Are there any more packages that do this?
