Bug#362713: fails to upgrade since /usr/X11R6/bin/X still exists



Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.11
Severity: serious

Setting up x11-common (7.0.11) ...

dpkg: error processing x11-common (--configure):

This (broken; see #362223) symlink was created by xorg itself when I
upgraded earlier this week. I am not the only one experiencing this
problem, at least one user has reported it on debian-user.
