/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit: nonexistent

I believe I've seen this mentioned here before, but After attempting to 
update xbase-clients, I get this:

Setting up xbase-clients (4.1.0-16) ...
Analyzing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit:

ERROR: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit symbolic link does not exist.  Either the
package didn't ship the symbolic link (a bug in the package), or dpkg failed 
to
unpack it to the filesystem (a bug in dpkg).
Please report the package name, version, and the text of the above error
message(s) to <debian-x@lists.debian.org>.

shows it should be in xbase-clients, but apt does not see it? Even dpkg -i 
fails with the same.

Cheers,
