Package: vtwm
Version: 5.4.7-2.0
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
As I suspect you know (even if you haven't taken an active role in the
XSF in a while), recent versions of x11-common replace /usr/X11R6/bin
with a symlink to /usr/bin and conflict with existing versions of
packages that still install into /usr/X11R6/bin; vtwm is one such.
Rebuilding with a recent version of xutils-dev should mostly take care
of this, but there are still a couple of bits of packaging that could
use an update, per the attached patch.
Could you please apply it, or authorize an NMU?
Thanks!
