Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
The update failed when apt-tried to install x11-common:
│ Cannot remove /usr/X11R6/bin directory
│
│
│
│ This upgrade requires that the /usr/X11R6/bin directory be removed and
replaced with │
│ a symlink. An attempt was made to do so, but it failed, most likely because
the │
│ directory is not yet empty. You must move the files that are currently in
the │
│ directory out of the way so that the installation can complete. If you like,
you may │
│ move them back after the symlink is in place.
│
│
│
│ This package installation will now fail and exit so that you can do this.
Please │
│ re-run your upgrade procedure after you have cleaned out the directory.
│
│
│
The files in /usr/X11R6/bin are
[0] nokile:/usr/X11R6/bin# dir
total 220K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 42 Feb 4 23:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 26 Feb 4 23:29 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 21 2005 xkbcomp -> ../../bin/xkbcomp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 210K Jun 20 2006 xli
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.9K Jun 20 2006 xlito
Why doesn't update-manager allow me to delete them and then just continue? I
can really see no reason for completely aborting the entire upgrade.
