Here's a problem related to your problem. I got the same error when trying to install xlibs. Earlier, I had received a warning about the app-defaults thing. I moved the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults to /etc/app-defaults, and made a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults to /etc/app-defaults (because I thought this was what I was supposed to do). Later, when I tried to install xlibs, I got the same error message you got. I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Finally, I removed the symlink I made, and created a directory called /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. The xlibs package then installed fine, but I undid what I did before in response to that warning. Anybody got any ideas on how to sort this out? Everything still works fine, but now I suspect I'll continue to get the warning about "the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults need to be moved to /etc/app-defaults" and "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ is a directory that should be a symlink".
