 Synopsis:	silly links break XFree-4 port if /usr/X11R6 is a link
 Category:	ports
 Severity:	non-critical
 Priority:	medium
 Class:		sw-bug
 Release:	FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT alpha
 System: FreeBSD cicely9.cicely.de 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Tue Sep 11 11:27:34 CEST 2001 ticso@cicely9.cicely.de:/var/d8/FreeBSD-2001-09-03-ev56/src/sys/alpha/compile/CICELY9 alpha
 
 
 Description:
 	ports/x11/XFree86-4 installs the follwowing links in
 	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11:
 	XftConfig -> ../../../../etc/X11/XftConfig
 	app-defaults -> ../../../.././etc/X11/app-defaults
 	lbxproxy -> ../../../.././etc/X11/lbxproxy
 	proxymngr -> ../../../.././etc/X11/proxymngr
 	rstart -> ../../../.././etc/X11/rstart
 	twm -> ../../../.././etc/X11/twm
 	xdm -> ../../../.././etc/X11/xdm
 	xinit -> ../../../.././etc/X11/xinit
 	xkb -> ../../../.././etc/X11/xkb
 	xserver -> ../../../.././etc/X11/xserver
 	xsm -> ../../../.././etc/X11/xsm
 
 	In reality these are pointing to /etc/X11/*
 	And they break if /usr/X11R6 is a link in a different depth.
 	IMO they shouldn't be relative links.
 
 How-To-Repeat:
 	mkdir /usr/test/X11R6 && ln -s /usr/test/X11R6 /usr && \
 	cd /usr/ports/X11/XFree86-4 && make install
