xlib6/g the saga continues.



i think the latest xlib6 (version -7) is horribly broken once again. i
really don't understand what the following line is doing in
xlib6.preinst:

for symlink in /usr/$arch-linuxlibc1/lib/X11/app-defaults \
               /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale \                     <--- this
               /usr/$arch-linuxlibc1/include/X11/bitmaps; do

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale is not a symlink, it belongs in xlib6g. on
the other hand /usr/$arch-linuxlibc1/include/X11/ should be a symlink.
so basically the xlib6 package is removing the locale directory from
xlib6g, it creates an empty one in /usr/$arch-linuxlibc1/include/X11/
and netscape and friends stop working.

oh, and btw, when did xfree86_3.3.2.3a-7 get announced? i didn't see
it in debian-devel-changes.
