Sounds like a d-i problem; contrary to your bug summary, xserver-xfree86 *doesn't* depend on read-edid, because the package does not exist for the alpha architecture. Package: xserver-xfree86 Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 15516 Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org> Architecture: powerpc Source: xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6+SVN Replaces: xserver-common (<< 4.0), libxfont-xtt Provides: xserver Depends: xserver-common (>= 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4+SVN), libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.4.1-3), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0 Suggests: discover, mdetect, read-edid, libglide2 (>> 2001.01.26) Conflicts: libxfont-xtt Description: the XFree86 X server The XFree86 X server is an X server for several architectures and operating systems; its architecture was completely redesigned for the 4.0 release, and features a loadable module system in which required modules are loaded on demand by a single server binary as opposed to the video card-specific X servers of the 3.x release. . The XFree86 server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors, and supersedes most version 3.x XFree86 X servers. See <http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/Status.html> for information on its support for your particular hardware. . If the discover, mdetect and read-edid packages are installed, this package's configuration script will use them to attempt automatic configuration of the X server based on your information returned by your video card, mouse, and monitor. . Note that on the HP-PA, MIPS, and SuperH architectures, the server's loadable module support is not present, and therefore the XFree86 server is a (very large) single binary. . This package suggests the libglide2 package, which is necessary for the XFree86 X server's "glide" video driver to work with 3Dfx Interactive's Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 cards. Users of other video cards need not install libglide2. (Please ignore the Version: header above.) -- G.
