Lately I've noticed that when XFree86-devel is installed / deinstalled multiple times (that's what my rebuilding script does) a large number of symlinks are made in /usr/include:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 21 14:18 /usr/include/X11;3c99ddb5 -> ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 21 15:15 /usr/include/X11;3c99eaea -> ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 21 15:22 /usr/include/X11;3c99ecaf -> ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 21 17:21 /usr/include/X11;3c9a0896 -> ../X11R6/include/X11/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 21 17:29 /usr/include/X11;3c9a0a80 -> ../X11R6/include/X11/ ... .. . there are 785 of these in my /usr/include directory now. These symlinks are preventing XFree86-devel from being installed again. The only remedy is to remove the X11;* symlinks. Is this planned behaviour or is this a bug? I can't find any %pre or %post script that could cause this... with kind regards, Stefan van der Eijk.
