Nono, that would be bad indeed. Luckily, you had a type above. The symlink
is actually:
ulysses:~# ls -l /usr/lib/X11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 28 19:50 /usr/lib/X11 -> ../X11R6/lib/X11/
So instead a symlink, we now have the real stuff there were Packages would
expect it. All is fine!
You need a /bin/X11 -> ., though. And the link /usr/include/X11 has to be
removed as there is now the real stuff, like with the lib example.
Thanks,
