Comment 17 for bug 277069

Jordan,
I checked our system about changing symbolic links to libX11.so.6.2.0. by the update process, but I can confirm your issue only partly. When I inspected our system I found libX11.so.6 pointing to the wrong (hardy) version. I am not sure, if this link was set by an update process of if I just forgot to set it to the gutsy version when i installed the gutsy file. Therefore I proved as follows:

I renamed the original hardy file to
libX11.so.6.2.0.hardy
and copied the gutsy libX11.so.6.2.0 to
libX11.so.6.2.0.gutsy

Additionally I changed the symbolic links:
libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2.0.gutsy
libX11.so.6.2 -> libX11.so.6.2.0.gutsy

After sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade the links still remain as I set them:

wollw@harry:/usr/lib$ ls -l libX11.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-01-15 10:54 libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.2.0.gutsy
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-01-15 10:53 libX11.so.6.2 -> libX11.so.6.2.0.gutsy
