I got:

rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/X11': Is a directory

:(

I'll pick through the script and work out why it's going wrong, but I
would have thought using urpmf was a very bad idea.....

I have /usr/lib/X11 and /user/share/X11 - they are both folders on my
system...
ls -ld /usr/lib/X11 /usr/share/X11
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-06-18 23:15 /usr/lib/X11/
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2008-06-20 10:12 /usr/share/X11/

Which is no doubt where the error initiates... I guess things have
gotten a little cocked up on my install.

This was the case before I ran the script.

I did:
urpmf /usr/lib/X11/| cut -d':' -f1 |sort -u | xargs rpm -V

And ignoring the errors about packages not installed, it didn't report
any issues. So I think my /usr/lib/X11 is OK.

Doing the same for /etc/X11 folder gives more worrying results but most
refert to files in:
/usr/share/X11/fontpath.d which I'm not overly worried about.

I'll post a followup in a moment or two once I do the actual upgrade....
