Apologies for the missing details (and for posting a bug report while
tired).
ii xfree86-common 4.1.0-7 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
ii xlib6g 4.1.0-7 pseudopackage providing X libraries
ii xlibmesa3 4.1.0-7 XFree86 version of Mesa 3D graphics
library
ii xlibs 4.1.0-7 X Window System client libraries
ii xlibs-dev 4.1.0-7 X Window System client library
development f
ii xserver-common 4.1.0-7 files and utilities common to all X
servers
ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-7 the XFree86 X server
(this is from 'dpkg -l 'x*'|grep ii' and choosing all the likely packages)
ls: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XDvi: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Sep 1 11:33
/usr/share/texmf/xdvi/XDvi -> /etc/X11/app-defaults/XDvi
(dangling symlink)
a final note: if I try to install xdvi, apt-get will select tetex-bin
instead.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
