Did you use dselect?

Well, it's designed to compete with microsoft windows.  Try to follow
the same hardware specifications.  Or install fvwm.  :-)

It expects the package "esd" installed on your system.  If you see these
messages, there should have been a depends: esd in the package that emits
these messages.  Instead there is probably just a suggests: esd somewhere.
If you do not use dselect, you might not have noticed these "details".
