Today I was trying to upgrade a 4.2.0-pre1v2 machine to 4.2.1-3. I installed the 4.2.1-3 version of x-window-system, but X failed to launch, complaining about "could not find font 'fixed'". This was on a machine that had been running 4.2.0 for a few weeks, so presumable the config file was correct. I installed xfs and made sure that I restarted the font server, but it still complained about the font and refused to launch. The dependency in x-window-system for xfonts-ase is only >>4.0.0. Is this still correct? Did some part of the font locations or font configuration change between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1? I realize that we don't have to support users with unreleased versions of your debs, but I'm just wondering if that dependency version is still correct. michael -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer, lindows.com hyperpoem.net | GNU/Linux software developer people.debian.org/~mbc | encrypted mail preferred "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free... it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson
