Xfree86 4.2.1-21 is now available at the usual places. It appears to
fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98082. It
provides much smaller RPMs. Thanks you.
When upgrading from 4.2.1-20, it installs just fine and appears to
work.
When I tried to upgrade from 4.2.0-72, I get the following error:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/X11/xkb: cpio: rename
failed - Is a directory
On my sucessful upgrade (from 4.2.1.20):
[root@(protected) root]# ll /etc/X11/xkb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jul 3 18:32 /etc/X11/xkb -> ../..
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
[root@(protected) root]# ll -d /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:32 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
On my unsucessful upgrade:
[root@(protected) autoupdate]# ll -d /etc/X11/xkb
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Mar 3 07:03 /etc/X11/xkb
[root@(protected) autoupdate]# ll -d /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 3 07:03 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
-> ../../../../etc/X11/xkb
This suggests that manually moving and symlinking to the directory will
solve the problem. I'll give that a try later when I have the time to
make a total bare metal backup of a test system. Meanwhile, if anyone
else wants to try it, good luck.
