Looking at the failsafe terminal output I keep getting the massage xterm: Cannot allocute color "whatever" sometimes green, somtimes black, I think I have seen every color after this warning at one point or another

I did dist-upgrade from stable, so maybe there is something crossing between xfree86 and xorg? Like I said this is just blowing my min, and I am out of ideas, and thankyou in advance for any help.

There was a recent bug report on this. I think the cause was that you
did not update *all* xfree packages to xorg. Check if you have any
xfree86 packages left and update them to their xorg counterpart.

I have both xserver-xfree86 and xserver-xorg installed. when I try to apt-get remove xserver-xfree86, apt wants to also remove xserver-xorg. Also next to xfree86-common there is a "c" for package state, which if I remember right means configured? And the package state for xserver-xfree86 is i with xserver-xorg as i A. I am not sure what A means.

Do
you have any *color files in /etc/X11/app-defaults ?
yes I do have Bitmap-color Clock-color Editres-color XCalc-color Xclock-color Xedit-color Xmessage-color XLogo-color XTerm-color
