Make sure that you have the package xbase-clients installed. Thats the
package that startx ships in.
Other xfree86 version four packages I have installed are:
package version
xfree86-common 4.0.3-3
xserver-xfree86 4.0.3-3
xfonts-100dpi 4.0.3-3
xfonts-75dpi 4.0.3-3
xfonts-base 4.0.3-3
xfonts-scalable 4.0.3-3
xserver-common 4.0.3-3
xterm 4.0.3-3
xutils 4.0.3-3
If you apt-get these packages you should have enough to get x running
again.
enter them all on one line and use the --fix-missing option:
(apt-get --fix-missing install xfree86-common xserver-common etc.)
This should at least fill out your dependancies.
It seems that you may have had more than xbase-clients removed when you
did the upgrade. I hope you didn't lose too much.
Don't re-install, it's not much fun and it's not really neccessary.
good luck,
