Package: x11-common
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important


Yesterday, I tried to install/upgrade X11/xorg to 7.0. Despite thinking 
that it might proceed smoothly, it got tangled up not being able to 
configure x11-common, instead it leaves a broken 6.9.0 version of 
x11-common in place.

I've tried aptitude dist-upgrade, purge, dpkg --configure -a numerous 
times, nothing seems to be getting me past this point.

The symlink (I think) should be /usr/include/X11 ->../X11R6/include/X11. 
However, dpkg --reconfigure -a barfs here, not processing the symlink 
correctly.

Here is a snippet of such a session:

x11-common postinst warning: /usr/include/X11 symbolic link points to wrong
   location ../X11R6/include/X11/
Analyzing /usr/include/X11:
Analyzing ../X11R6/include/X11/:
/../X11R6: nonexistent; directory contents of /../:
Searching for overlapping packages...
dpkg: error processing x11-common (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 x11-common

I couldn't include the output of the directory contents - it prints the 
root '/' directory contents.

Should be working fine nowadays, and we are not going to fix the upgrade
from 6.9 to 7.0 anymore anyway.
