Bug#89747: tetex-base: FHS tell us to convert /usr/bin/X11 -> /usr/X11R6/bin
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0-10
Severity: normal
According to FHS a program should use directly /usr/X11R6/bin instead of /usr/bin/X11
(this last is only for user compatibility).
FHS, par 4.4.1 at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2-beta/fhs-2.2-beta.txt [It is also on older FHS]
1249 To simplify matters and make XFree86 more compatible with the X Window
1262 System on other systems, the following symbolic links must be present if
1263 /usr/X11R6 exists:
1264
1265 /usr/bin/X11 -> /usr/X11R6/bin
1266 /usr/lib/X11 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
1267 /usr/include/X11 -> /usr/X11R6/include/X11
1268
1269 In general, software must not be installed or managed via the above
1270 symbolic links. They are intended for utilization by users only. The
1271 difficulty is related to the release version of the X Window System --
1272 in transitional periods, it is impossible to know what release of X11 is
1273 in use.
You use it in tetex-base,tetex-* on install/remove scripts.
