>Description:
The upgrade notes for xorg release 7 state that the existing /usr/X11R6 directory
tree contents be moved to /usr/local, and the /usr/X11R6 directory be
replaced by a symklink to /usr/local. See /usr/ports/UPDATING for the full details.
Making this modification caused the rc start-up sequence for the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory to be executed _twice_ during system boot. This was due to the presence of the /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d directory in the local_startup variable in the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file.
In addition to this the /usr/X11R6 directory is mentioned a number of times in the /etc directory tree, i.e. MANPATH settings etc. These paths are probably redundant, at least in some point in the future.
>How-To-Repeat:
Replace the /usr/X11R6 directory by a symlink to /usr/local and re-boot.
>Fix:
Apply the attached patch:
cd /etc
patch -p1 < <path-to-patch>/X11R6-path-rm.patch
