Subject: xlibs install dies if app-defaults is a symlink
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.32.0102142252590.6315-100000@smokey.krimedawg.org>

Package: xlibs
Version: 4.0.2-2
If /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults is a symlink to /etc/X11/app-defaults
(which is, apparently, the correct behaviour) then the xlibs install dies
with this error:
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.0.2-1 (using .../xlibs_4.0.2-2_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.0.2-2_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults', which is also in
package xxgdb
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
This seems to be the case only on computers where debian was installed
very recently. On my other debian installations,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults is a directory with different files than
/etc/X11/app-defaults.
If I 'rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults' and then mkdir it, the
unpack proceeds with just a warning:
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.0.2-1 (using .../xlibs_4.0.2-2_i386.deb) ...
Warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults is a directory that should be a
symbolic link. Packages containing files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
need to move them to /etc/X11/app-defaults instead; they will not be used
by the X Window System until they are moved.
