> X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting

If I wrote this down and rememeber correctly with the Debian unstable (from a few weeks ago), I did:

ln -s /usr/bin/X11/XF86_S3 /etc/X11/X # link to my X server
ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/XF86Config

And edited /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start to have:

exec $REALSTARTUP

send-pr: pkg/14590; "lintpkgsrc -i" does its scan_pkgsrc_makefiles and parse_makefile_pkgsrc for every package's Makefile. I don't think this is needed -- and is too slow. It should just get the info from the Makefiles for only the installed packages. On my 400Mhz machine, it took over 2 minutes. No patch sent; it would be minor, except it doesn't know what category it is in (because it doesn't appear that pkg_info can output the category name also).

pkg/14590 was closed on 25/Jan/2002 by wiz: "The problem is that sometimes packages move (like e.g. recently the php4 subpackages), so lintpkgsrc has to parse all Makefiles." (Wiz also suggested to use -o to report any old distfiles for an additional benefit at same cost.)
