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.

We've found a good solution for this bug. It's closed unless you can find a
way and submit a patch that reliably fixes the issues mentioned by Steve in
this bug report. I invite you to do so, but in the meantime, the current
solution, though awkward and a little annoying, will ensure that we don't
mangle other packages.
