(xbase-clients, rather - your reply just went to me, sorry I didn't get
round to responding.)
I *think* the problem is in apt, not xbase-clients. If you had startx
before the upgrade, you had xbase-clients - which means that something
in the upgrade caused xbase-clients to be removed. A number of packages,
including things like xfonts-base and xlibs, conflict with old versions
of xbase-clients, but this should have caused xbase-clients to be
upgraded rather than removed.
However, without a log of the upgrade (preferably with '-o
Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1'), I doubt anyone will be able to find the
problem. If you happen to be upgrading another machine and notice that
apt wants to remove xbase-clients, please try this.
