Ok, I've changed the target to /usr/lib/X11. But now instead of 1 warning
per cursor i get 2 errors per cursor:
E: crystalcursors: package-installs-file-to-usr-something-x11
usr/lib/X11/icons/crystalwhiteleft/cursors/plus
E: crystalcursors: use-of-compat-symlink
usr/lib/X11/icons/crystalwhiteleft/cursors/plus
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Bastian
