Comment 6 for bug 277069

@Scott:
I asked Juha how to apply the workaround, here is his answer. #4 is the answer you are asking for:

> 1.) How can a single file be replaced between different Ubuntu versions?

Simply replacing the file (with cp) should be enough, but in
case updates should happen to ia32-libs package that contains the
/usr/lib32/libX11.so.6.2.0 file, those updates will overwrite the
changed file. dpkg-divert can be used to solve this problem, it can
be used to divert file updates to another place (in this case, because
the file is a shared library, it should not be in the same directory,
otherwise ldconfig will link to the wrong file).

You might want to test by simply installing the gutsy version of
ia32-libs package, it should work, but I don't recommend that as a
permanent solution (it will change many other libraries as well).

> 2.) Where can I get the file from Gutsy?

http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-updates/amd64/ia32-libs/download

You can unpack deb-archives with (IIRC):

(mkdir tmp && cd tmp && ar x ../ia32-libs_2.1ubuntu4_amd64.deb && \
   tar -zxf data.tar.gz)

You'll find the file there.

   Comment: That is for arch amd64.
   For arch i386 you'll find the package here:
   http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libx11-6

> 3.) Are there side effects that probably can affect the system?

Perhaps, but I'm not aware of any.

> 4.) Am I right that the file needs to be replaced in the ltsp chroot?

No, X-clients use this library, so it needs to be replaced in the ltsp
server environment, NOT in the image that is served to terminals.

I hope this helps.
