Package: general
Version: 20020221
Severity: wishlist

/etc/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults is symlinked to /etc/X11/app-defaults
producing a syclic symlink.  

This prevents backups with veritas backup-exec. Possibly other backup
software and software that tries to traverse dirs can be affected as
well (can't test).
