If you recently installed X11 packages, I'm guessing that the
X11R6-libs rpm failed with a mysterious "-9" error? If so, this is what
happened, and how to fix it.
In the original DR2.1 release, the X11 directory heirarchy consisted of
a directory named X11R6.3 and two soft links to it named X11 and X11R6.
In the DR3 distribution, the X11 directories consist of a directory
named X11R6 and two soft links to it named X11 and X11R6.3. This freaks
out rpm, to say the least. I don't really understand why myself. The
way around this problem is to delete the soft link named X11R6. Rename
the directory X11R6.3 to X11R6 and then create a soft link to it named
X11R6.3.
cd /usr
rm X11R6
mv X11R6.3 X11R6
ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
After that, you should be able to install the new X libraries without a
problem.
