Ok, look.

You did:

I told you to do instad:

But you did not. If you had done, you whould have seen the problem. Look, 
I do it on my system:

Elessar:~ # rpm -q  xorg-x11-libx11
package xorg-x11-libx11 is not installed

WHATT? Calm down...

rpm -qa | grep -i xorg-x11
...
long list. Lets cut it a bit:

Elessar:~ # rpm -qa | grep -i xorg-x11-libx11
xorg-x11-libX11-32bit-7.4-12.3.x86_64
xorg-x11-libX11-7.4-12.3.x86_64
xorg-x11-libX11-devel-7.4-12.3.x86_64
xorg-x11-libX11-ccache-7.4-2.4.x86_64


Do you see some thing in there? A big 'X'?  >:-)


Elessar:~ # rpm -q  xorg-x11-libX11
xorg-x11-libX11-7.4-12.3.x86_64


See? it is there :-)

It would be a bug. Retry with the correct case.

However, the locales are not in there:

Elessar:~ # rpm -ql  xorg-x11-libX11 | grep en_US
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XI18N_OBJS
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE


They are in glibc-locale.
