Package: xserver-common
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal
Today's update breaks the installation, because of the following error:
Preparing to replace xserver-common 4.3.0-2 (using
.../xserver-common_4.3.0-3_i386.deb) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/config: 765: Syntax error: end of file unexpected
(expecting ")")
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-common_4.3.0-3_i386.deb (--unpack):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm: 663: Syntax error: end of file unexpected
(expecting ")")
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
This is common to every of the new files related with X11 !!!
Please change ASAP, cause my whol installation process is stuck.
