So, anyone know why the following code in the preinst wouldn't do its
job?:
if [ "$1" = "install" -o "$1" = "upgrade" ]; then
# app-defaults and xkb directories moved in 4.0
for DIR in app-defaults xkb; do
if [ -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$DIR -a ! -L /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$DIR ]; then
message "Note: Removing obsolete /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$DIR directory."
mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$DIR /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$DIR.moved-by-preinst
fi
done
fi
Sure looks like it "exists" and "is not a symbolic link" to me...
