RE: Lesstif update II


A quick grep in /etc/postinstall gives
$ more XFree86-lib.sh.done
#!/bin/sh

ETCLINKS="app-defaults fs lbxproxy proxymngr rstart twm xdm xinit xsm
xserver"
for f in $ETCLINKS; do
    ln -sf /etc/X11/$f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/$f
done

do I'd guess it to be the Xfree86 libraries package that creates the links.
