host.def in lesstif conflicts with host.def in XFree86-prog

[Nicholas Wourms]

Harold,

As you well may know, the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/host.def is needed for
running the xmkmf command.  The issue is that this file is being installed
by both the lesstif and XFree86-prog packages.  The problem is, when you
uninstall lesstif, the XFree86-prog version host.def is not restored. 
Worse yet, the lesstif host.def is completely removed.  This is not good,
but the issue will become worse in the future now that setup.exe is
getting closer to implimenting dependancy/conflict functions.  I suggest
making postinstall and preremove (/etc/preremove/*.sh) scripts for both
packages to handle this potential issue.  Just a thought...

Cheers,
Nicholas
