If this is the case, then something is broke badly -- my machine doesn't
even have a /usr/lib/X11R6/ directory. That your machine wants something
there is very odd. (Now, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp would be
understandable, though I was under the impression that this directory
was supposed to have been moved to /etc/X11/xkb. Branden?)
Was your setup a migration from an earlier phase1- or phase2- package?
Or did it come from a direct upgrade from 3.3.X?
