OK, sorry, I've tried every which way to recover from the consequences of
this reorganisation including the re-installation described above by Jim
Reisert using setup.ini timestamped 1442007529; but still got the "Error
writing file" message
>> Unable to extract
>> /etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20
followed by
>> Unable to extract
>> /etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-fonts-misc:unscaled:pri=10
During the re-installation; and then the same message as before
>> Warning: Cannot convert string
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
when starting xterm.
Are users meant to be able to recover their glitch-free system using
self-help (in which case can anybody please provide a recipe e.g. a
sequenced re-installation?!) or are we awaiting a fix with a new timestamp?
Just a question, not a nag ... thank you.
