I've run into this same issue. I have files from the following packages in /usr/X11R6/bin: [hupp@serotonin ~]$ dpkg -S /usr/X11R6/bin/* dpkg: /usr/X11R6/bin/fontfs not found. ghostview: /usr/X11R6/bin/ghostview libmotif-dev: /usr/X11R6/bin/uil I'm not sure where the fontfs file came from since I don't remember adding it myself. After removing those packages and fontfs the install suceeds. -Adam
