Hi,
I attempted an update to edgy (from dapper) via
kdesu "update-manager -c"
After a few hours of downloads it spewed out the following message:
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.
<snipped a lot of stuff that is not doing what was suggested>
So, the problem is with /usr/X11R6/bin, but how to fix it?
The answer is where it has always been; it's in the message you quoted
above. Did you do as it said and move the files from /etc/X11R6/bin?
that looks like all it requires of you.
I'd try moving those files, myself. The update manager seems to know
(Since there seems to be a conflict with the xli package, I looked at
removing it, but it would remove ubuntu-desktop, all xserver packages
and a more, so that's not an option.)
what it is doing.
