Re: X broken in current Debian/Sid/Unstable ?
Mariusz:
Thanks, this corrected the problem. Now it seems that a bug-report
should be filed. But which package is at fault? xfonts-base was not a
package that got upgraded. So, an update from one of yesterday's
changes caused the fonts directories to get wiped. an
update-fonts-alias (as suggested by Nick) perhaps needs to be called
from one of the other package updates...
