Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.11
Severity: serious
Hello,
I cannot upgrade the package on my system because it repeatedly fails
with:
rmdir: /usr/X11R6/bin: Directory not empty
x11-common postinst error: Could not remove /usr/X11R6/bin. Is not yet
empty
dpkg: error processing x11-common (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 74
Errors were encountered while processing:
x11-common
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Well, yes, there is one remaining file added manually by me, however the
postinst should not rely on that and fail otherwise.
Eduard.

How else, exactly, is that directory then supposed to turn into a
symlink?
