Bug#320580: New xlibs version should be pulled in on upgrade of x-window-system



Package: xorg-x11
Severity: normal

I tried to upgrade from the xfree86 x packages to the x.org ones by
upgrading x-window-system. After the upgrade I noticed that AltGr-q,
which should generage an '@' in my locale didn't work any more.

I looked at the xkb rules, and it was still set to "xfree86".
Looking around in /etc/X11/xkb/rules I didn't find an xorg rule, so
I thought this would be ok.

I finally solved the problem days later at a local LUG when I
compared my config with that of another xorg user, and finding that
I didn't have the xorg xkb rule. One upgrade of xlibs later (to the
x.org version) and restarting X the problem was gone.

So I think it would be nice to have xlibs upgraded automatically to
the xorg version uppon installing of x-window-system.

TIA,
Christian Aichinger
