Bug#261854: marked as spam Bug#261854 acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#261854: xlibs: some softlinks not made correctly, installer fails to upgrade)
I agreed to Daniel that it was something that happend on my machineS
during dist-upgrade.
This in't reproducible installing X related libs in any order (forward
or back).
To get to how libXft became a "file not found", cause even "vi" to not
work holding X out of the picture, I would have to mount a copy of a
woody install, which I have two of, and do dist-upgrade to sarge from my
jigdo .iso again.
Though Daniel seems willing to answer reports and replies to them, I'm
unwilling to do this day long re-upgrade even though I have an idle box,
since I do not beleive the effort would be rewarded with earnest follow
up by "the guys with the pgp keys" - which I greatly envy the possesion
of ;)
