At version 21.1.11-1 xorg doesn't start, complaining about not being able to find /usr/lib/Xorg.

Workaround: downgrade xorg-server-common-rootless and xorg-server-rootless to 21.1.10-1.

In the previous version /usr/bin/Xorg is a binary, but in the new version it is a script that tries to run /usr/lib/Xorg, which the new package doesn't provide.

We also seem to have a problem with the .INSTALL script ("line 9: unexpected token near }" or something like that) in both versions, though that does not prevent xorg from installing and working normally.

    This was, iirc, present in earlier versions as well.

    Thanks for your reports, can you try with the new release please.
    Could you kindly create an issue on the relevant Obarun git repository for this matter next time?

    I'd like to announce that moving forward, the official channel for reporting package bugs is through the corresponding Obarun git repository.

      Both the missing binary and install script error are solved. Marking the thread as such.

      Noted. In addition to the announcement, you might want to create a sticky thread here to that effect as well.
