Hello,
I updated today to the latest xorg-server, 1.11.4-5, and the server
cannot start due to the
xkcomp problem:
(EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp
rebasing did not help.
I would like to install my prior active xorg-server version 1.11.3-1.
I have the tar.bz2 file
(setup does not see it).
But I don't know how to properly install it and uninstall it. My guess is:
- remove current version using setup.
- unpack it
- run the postinstall script in /etc/postinstall
... try it
But if that fails, how do I properly uninstall it? Is it
- run the /etc/preremove
- remove all files (I can find their paths in the tar.bz2 file)
Anything else?
Is there a script that does the above?
Thanks.
Mirko
