Please investigate a bit ... run_parts was a shell function defined in
/etc/X11/Xsession and used by the scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
A few monthes ago iit has been removed and now Xsession and its scripts
should use run-parts (part of the debianutils package).
All scripts in /etc/X11/Xsession.d should have switched to the new name
but it looks like one have not .
Could you tell us which one with :
$ grep run_parts /etc/X11/Xsession* -r
Thank you
Alban
