Strange, xcommon (1.0) is installed, and the /usr/bin/X11 directory 
does exist.    It contains /usr/bin/X11/X (among other things). 

I didn't manually create any symlinks.  Everything was working fine 
with -16, but broke during a subsequent upgrade.

Right now I see the following:

ls -al /etc/X11/X
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 2005-03-12 17:05 /etc/X11/X ->  /usr/bin/X11/Xorg

ls -al /usr/bin/X11/Xorg
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 20 2005-06-01 07:45 /usr/bin/X11/Xorg -> ../../X11R6/bin/Xorg

ls -al /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 20 2005-06-01 07:45 /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg -> ../../X11R6/bin/Xorg

I also see:

ls -al /usr/bin/X11/X
-rwsr-sr-x  1 root root 7460 2005-06-01 02:07 /usr/bin/X11/X

Do you see anything obviously wrong here and if so, is there an easier 
way to fix it rather than uninstalling all of X (and everything which 
depends on X)?
