Vincent, please don't email branden directly -- for details of debian
packaging, debian-x is the correct forum; for general debian
integration, debian-user is probably the correct forum; for general X
questions, the xfree86.org lists are probably correct.
In the meantime, try directly installing/upgrading debconf before the
various X packages. Sometime this won't be necessary, but I do not know
how long that is -- I asked about it many months ago. :)

Hi,
I run woody oon my box at home andI have a problem with Xfree86 4.0.1-8.
When I apt-got xserver-xfree86, it wouldn't finish installing it, because
there was a programmation error somewhere. It was a bash error, on line 1,
it says that there's a bad EOF : `'' And this prevents me from using X.
Could you see what's wrong? Because I'm about to reinstall potato (and I
don't want to do that, but I'll do if I have to). Please tell me what I can
do to fix this mess, or how I can get 3.3.6 back on my system.
Vincent
