Bug#483812: Stable's xserver-xorg cannot be installed with testing's xserver-xorg-core due to Dependencies problems



Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-19

  Stable's xserver-xorg depends on
xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-1.0 and
xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input. Testing's xserver-xorg-core
Conflicts with xserver-xorg-video-1.0 and xserver-xorg-input, so the
package system will not allow installing them together, unless one installs
all video and input drivers (from testing, because stable's drivers Provide
xserver-xorg-video-1.0 or xserver-xorg-input).
  This can be circumvented by creating a fake package that Provides
xserver-xorg-video-all and xserver-xorg-input-all. I have not experienced
any problems with that, but this is obviously an ugly hack.
  I suggest two solutions:
1) Replace the aforementioned Dependencies of stable's xserver-xorg by
xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-1.0 | xserver-xorg-video-2 and
xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input | xserver-xorg-input-2.
2) Suppress those Dependencies, and make xserver-xorg-core Depend on
xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input for older versions, and
xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input-2 for newer versions, and the
same for video drivers.

  Regards.
