xorg and abandoning /usr/bin/X11 for /usr/binHas anyone else periodically had problems with xorg due to binaries moving from /usr/bin/X11 to /usr/bin? This seems to come up every few months. The latest is that I had to make a link from /usr/bin/xauth to /usr/bin/X11/xauth so that ssh would forward X. Evening using ssh -o "XAuthLocation /usr/bin/xauth" didn't work. It seems like this is going go continue causing problems as long as packages assume the /usr/bin/X11 location. It would be interesting to download the source code for Etch and grep for "/usr/bin/X11" to see how many bugs turn up. Update: After the latest etch update, xorg MADE me delete /usr/bin/X11 before apt would continue. Now X forwarding is broken again :-(. Time to check if a bug report has been filed.
