OK.

Are you sure you have the file libX11.so on the system?  And it's
readable by you?  Normally it's in /usr/X11R6/lib.  Also, the package is
`libx11-dev' (note the lower-case `x').   However, it's a bit strange.
ROOT build-depends on `libxpm-dev' which in turn depends on `libx11-dev'

The package is `libx11-dev'.

`<x>-devel' is the Red Hat way of naming things - Debian does
`lib<x>-dev' :-)

Try installing `libxpm-dev' - it should pull in libx11-dev.

Not so strange - there was a `index.html' in the directory, which
contained the directory of the previous amd64 builder John Kehayias.
I've removed the index.html file, so now you should see a (long) list of
available packages.

You too.
