Sorry to trouble you, but if you have a moment to answer a question, I would appreciate it. I run Debian/Sid on all my machines. I use apt and dpkg for every application but XFree86. My XFree86 server is installed by direct application of `yes | sh Xinstall.sh' in the XFree86 4.1.0 binaries directory I keep lying around. Everytime new XFree86 packages are installed on my system (I use `apt-get dist-upgrade' everyday) my XFree86 installation is broken. Then I have to run `yes | sh Xinstall.sh' again, and round and round we go! Do you have any ideas how I can bring my systems in line with the Debian packages (without losing all my installed X applications)?
