Well, you are installing into a directory (/usr/lib/X11) which is actually a symlink to another directory (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11), and lintian complains (I guess because this can cause problems with dpkg or if the symlink was removed somehow). Effectively you are installing into the same directory as before, so you might as well install the cursors in usr/X11R6/lib/X11/. You will of course receive the lintian warning again - but that is better than an error ;) To get rid of this warning you should investigate if you can install the cursors in another directory which is NOT a subdirectory of usr/X11R6 or usr/lib/X11. You might want to look at gtk2-engines-industrial which install it cursors in a subdirectory of usr/share/icons. I hope this helps, Greetings Arjan
