Asked by marcobra (Marco Braida)

Is this a filesystem bug... ?

Open a terminal and type:

cd /usr/bin/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11

ls -l

pwd

cd /usr/bin
cd X11/X11/
cd X11

[andy@fileserver X11]$ file ./X11

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS

The folder is a symlink to the folder containing the link, forming what you have seen. Not sure why it's there but if you suspect a bug then log one.
