Is that the standard X from Etch? I thought Etch had version 7.1.0.

I cannot find "libXfont.so.1.5" in any branch of Debian. Where does this
file come from?

[ snip: libxfont1 1:1.2.2-2 seems to be installed OK ]

You seem to have some non-Debian X libraries on your system. My guess is
that you have to get rid of them. I would start by (temporarily)
removing the symlink /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1. The Debian Xorg
should use /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1 instead.
