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@xxxxxx root]# ll /etc/X11/xkb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jul 3 18:32 /etc/X11/xkb -> ../../usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb [root@xxxxxx 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@xxxxxx autoupdate]# ll -d /etc/X11/xkb drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Mar 3 07:03 /etc/X11/xkb [root@xxxxxx 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. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
