I think this will work:
1. If package xbase is installed, remove it. According to what I have
read, it isn't needed any more.
2. Make sure you have a way to get the xfs package so we can re-install it
(this will be xfs_3.3.3.1-10.deb if you are running potato)
3. purge package xfs
4. install package xfs
5. choose "config" from dselect or run dpkg --pending --configure
Once xfs is purged, it will have to make new configs when re-installed.
Note that this is a horrible Microsoft way to do things (re-install), and
there is probably a way to make it re-configure, but I don't know it.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
