OK, post upgrade, I get:

Interestingly, it seems that:
ll /usr/lib/X11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-06-20 10:31 /usr/lib/X11 -> ../../lib64/X11

This is a broken symlink :(

So I did:
ln -sf ../lib64/X11 /usr/lib/X11
to fix that.


To fix this I did:

urpmi --replacepkgs xedit xterm libx11-common lbxproxy libnas2 x11perf
rstart proxymngr

After that I got:
[root@jimmy ~]# urpmf /usr/lib/X11/| cut -d':' -f1 |sort -u | xargs rpm
-V | grep -vE "^package.*not installed$"
....L...    /usr/X11R6
....L...    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11

Much better! So I tried urpmi --replacepkgs x11-server-common to fix up
the remaining issues...

[root@jimmy ~]# urpmi --replacepkgs x11-server-common

Arg! My /usr/lib/X11 is a symlink. I know it was I created it above!!
D'oh!!!! But then I only created it because it was a broken sysmlink...
That said, it seems that x11-server-common actually changed it from a
folder (see my last mail, it was definately a folder then!) to a
symlink.... and a broken one at that :(

So I cannot reinstall x11-server-common. So this package must changed
for the next revision to allow upgrade if /usr/lib/X11 is a symlink.


So I'm in a mess now :(

Right I'll sort this out! I think /usr/lib/X11 is meant to be a folder
right? It's not meant to be a symlink... Let's go with that.

mkdir /usr/lib/X11.new
urpmf /usr/lib/X11/| cut -d':' -f2 | sed 's,/usr/lib/X11/\(.*\)$,mv
/usr/lib/X11/\1 /usr/lib/X11.new/\1,' | sh
rm -f /usr/lib/X11
mv /usr/lib/X11.new /usr/lib/X11

Right.

Dammit!

OK, I get it now. this is because, I have both 64 and 32 bit media
installed right? This is cocking up the whole thing!!!

OK, I understand now that using urpmf is a bad idea on dual arch installs...

OK, I'm just going to move things back again... "manually".

urpmf /usr/lib/X11/| cut -d':' -f1 |sort -u | xargs rpm -V | grep -vE
"^package.*not installed$" | grep -E "^missing.*/usr/lib64/" | cut -b13-
| sed 's,/usr/lib64\(.*\)$,mv /usr/lib\1 /usr/lib64\1,' | sh


That produced a few errors because some of the above were folders but
that doesn't matter :)

Some didn't work.... so:
mkdir /usr/lib64/X11/app-defaults
Then run it again.

OK, bettter :)
[root@jimmy ~]# urpmf /usr/lib/X11/| cut -d':' -f1 |sort -u | xargs rpm
-V | grep -vE "^package.*not installed$"
missing     /usr/lib/X11/config/multiarch-dispatch-host.def
....L...    /usr/X11R6
.M......    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11

Right, let's sort this out...
mv /usr/lib64/X11/config /usr/lib/X11/

OK, cooking on gas :)

Now after running:
[root@jimmy ~]# urpmi --replacepkgs x11-server-common
[root@jimmy ~]# urpmf /usr/lib/X11/| cut -d':' -f1 |sort -u | xargs rpm
-V | grep -vE "^package.*not installed$"
missing     /usr/lib/X11/AuErrorDB
missing     /usr/lib/X11/config/multiarch-dispatch-host.def
....L...    /usr/X11R6

WTF???? missing files?
[root@jimmy ~]# ls /usr/lib/X11 -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-06-20 11:11 /usr/lib/X11 -> ../../lib64/X11


It's broken my symlink again!!!!!! Gahhhhhhh!

So what's going on here?

I've probably made things worse by doing this manually but there is
certainly somehting wrong somewhere... x11-server-common definately
creates a broken symlink on my system... why???

I cannot see anything in the post scripts that do this, so what is
responsible for hosing my /usr/lib/X11 folder and creating the bad symlink?
