[Cooker] xrdb bug in mdk9.0

[Bryan Whitehead]

xrdb is broken in mandrake 9.0
[driver@mythic ~]$ xrdb
sh: line 1: /lib/cpp: No such file or directory
[driver@mythic ~]$

the /lib/cpp link points to an entry that doesn't exist in /etc/alternatives....

[driver@mythic ~]$ ls -al /lib/cpp
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25 Oct 25 07:20 /lib/cpp -> /etc/alternatives/lib_cpp
[driver@mythic ~]$

lib_cpp is missing. I changed broken symlink to point at /etc/alternatives/cpp.

So now /lib/cpp points to /etc/alternatives/cpp and everything works.

Please fix! :)

(with this broken .Xdefaults will not work correctly unless xrdb gets -nocpp passed to it... which it doesn't)

This is a pretty big bug for unix shops... many old timers (and die hard advanced X users) tweak everything with .Xdefaults... When this doesn't work they freak out. :)
