Summary:                    Symbolic links to nowhere
Description: 
The package include may extra links to files that don't exist, eg:

$ ls -l /opt/csw/lib/lbxcb-composite.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         25 Mar 13 12:38
/opt/csw/lib/lbxcb-composite.so -> libxcb-composite.so.0.0.0
$ wc /opt/csw/lib/lbxcb-composite.so
wc: cannot open /opt/csw/lib/lbxcb-composite.so

A couple things have changed since, we no longer link against own X11 libs,
and we now package shared libraries in separate packages.  I personally no
longer use Solaris desktop, so I don't have a testbed for X11-related
packages.

I've recently implemented a check for dangling symlinks, so I'll see if I
can respin the xcb package and its dependencies in /opt/csw.  If any
dangling symlinks appear, they will be detected by checkpkg.

I never used Solaris Desktop.
I need various packages on a web server.
One of them is imagemagick for things like gallery2.

I guess I only need the CLI part, but the package pulls in a lot of the
X11 dependencies.
