most pbs has been fixed at the moment... at least people who have not
upgraded yet should upgrade nicely. But for people in the middle of
this mess, there is one things that won't be fixed by upgrading. In
that case, please do:

mv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* /usr/lib/X11
rmdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
ln -s ../../lib/X11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11

this may fail. In that case, you may try things like:

cp -a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/* /usr/lib/X11
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
ln -s ../../lib/X11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
