Bug#362672: xserver-xorg: what happens if you delete /usr/X11R6/bin/X symlink...



Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.11
Followup-For: Bug #362672

FYI:
I figured that the X symlink was probably just a left over and not all that
important, so I tried deleting it and doing a reconfigure of the x packages.
This caused the /usr/X11R6/bin folder to be deleted and a new symlink to
/usr/bin was created.

When I next tried to start gdm it failed to find /usr/X11R6/bin/X. Following the chain of symlinks leads you to /bin/X, which doesn't exist. To fix this on my system I linked this to /etc/X11/X, which in turn points to your chosen X, so I
assume this is the correct thing to do.

Richard.
