It looks like /usr/bin/X11 is now a symbolic link to /usr/bin and just exists for backwards compatibility - someone tries to run /usr/bin/X11/xmessage and they actually run /usr/bin/xmessage. xmessage works with either of those paths.
However the compatibility is broken if the files that are really in /usr/bin are relative symbolic links. Running /usr/bin/X11/soffice causes problems mentioned in the original bug report.

Use full paths instead of relative paths for executables in /usr/bin. 2. Remove the X11 compatibility link/directory. -- soffice doesn't work, ooffice does https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250372 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
