I'm not sure what the problem is (and preinst scripts are notoriously difficult to troubleshoot), but I'm adding some more defensive logic to the xserver-common preinst script in 4.2.1-12, and hopefully that will resolve the problem. In the meantime, you might try purging and reinstalling xserver-common. # dpkg -P --force-depends xserver-common # apt-get -f install Please let me know if that works (or doesn't). -- G.
