Re: 4.3.0-1 XFree86-etc package problem


Good catch. This has not been reported before.

Our packaging script was putting the files in /etc/X11, but the files were already in X11, so the result was /etc/X11/X11. I have corrected the packaging script and will be posting an updated XFree86-etc-4.3.0-2.tar.bz2 shortly.

Thanks for testing,

Harold

Apologies if this has been reported before, but there seems to be a basic
problem with this version.

I've tried two download sites and in both cases the files are installed in
the wrong directory - /etc/X11/X11 instead of /etc/X11. This caused some unpleasant symptoms which mostly went away if the files were moved back into /etc/X11. Unfortunately xterm still didn't work properly because the XTerm and
XTerm-color files have gone missing from the app-defaults directory. I've
reverted to 4.2.0-1 for the time being.
