Bug#363533: Package installation requires directory /usr/X11R6/bin to be removed
Package: x11-common
Version: 7.0.14
Preconfiguring packages ...
Setting up x11-common (7.0.14) ...
rmdir: /usr/X11R6/bin: Directory not empty
x11-common postinst error: Could not remove /usr/X11R6/bin. Is not yet
empty. Please remove any items still in the directory. You can move
them back after the install has completed successfully.
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)
I think error messages tell it all. It's possible to evade problem
by doing something like mv /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/X11R6/bin.b && apt-get
install x11-common ... but my opinion is that this is way too
complex for normal user.
