[testing] HELP - lost X
OK
Please help before I install Ubuntu or something....
I should have really read the wiki (now I've managed to lose that page)
to upgrade xorg to 7.0. It started to grab all the needed packages and
then there are total conflicts between packages that depend on
xserver-common (6.9, latest version in testing. The install is
completely broken and I'm missing X.
during the install, it prints up some directories. It removes
xserver-common, and then trying to bring that back (maybe by mistake?)
started to remove bits of kde, so I hit the ^C key as soon as possible.
I'll still have to go back and manually add those things in.
x11-common postinst warning: /usr/include/X11 symbolic link does not exist
Analyzing /usr/include/X11:
/usr/include/X11: nonexistent; directory contents of /usr/include/:
Searching for overlapping packages...
dpkg: error processing x11-common (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
x11-common
Seems that I must create a symbolik link to X11's include files. The
symbolic link for X11R6 seems to be in place:
