xkcomp fails after xorg-server update - how to reinstall old version of xorg-server-1.11.3-1?

[Mirko Vukovic]

Hello,

I updated today to the latest xorg-server, 1.11.4-5, and the server
cannot start due to the
xkcomp problem:
(EE) XKB: Could not invoke xkbcomp

rebasing did not help.

I would like to install my prior active xorg-server version 1.11.3-1.
I have the tar.bz2 file
(setup does not see it).

But I don't know how to properly install it and uninstall it.  My guess is:
- remove current version using setup.
- unpack it
- run the postinstall script in /etc/postinstall
... try it

But if that fails, how do I properly uninstall it?  Is it
- run the /etc/preremove
- remove all files (I can find their paths in the tar.bz2 file)

Anything else?

Is there a script that does the above?

Thanks.

Mirko
