xbase-clients 4.1.0-16woody3 bug?
I get the following error using xbase-clients (4.1.0-16woody3):
--------------------------
Setting up xbase-clients (4.1.0-16woody3) ...
Analyzing /etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp:

ERROR: /etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp 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>.
dpkg: error processing xbase-clients (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

xbase-clients
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
----------------------
I usually install XFree86 4.3.0 (from http://www.xfree86.org/) over
4.1.0 of debian once things get going (my video card needs the version
4.3.0), and that might have to do with this. I also received an error
with xlibs (4.1.0-16woody3), but I could fix that one by redefining a
sympolic link to point directly to /etc/X11/xkb rather than using
relative path to the same directory... That fix doesn't work for this
package. Sorry if this error is only caused by not using apt-get'able
packages.
Thank you for your time,
Taro Sato
