i really don't know how it happened: i did no deliberate deleting.

no, i didn't: straight apt-get build-dep xserver-xfree86, went ahead
without a hitch.

lkcl@tinapc:/backup/src/mozilla-cvs/mozilla$ dpkg -l | grep xfree86
ii xfree86-common 4.3.0-2 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
lkcl@tinapc:/backup/src/mozilla-cvs/mozilla$
the only possible thing that's "odd" is that this is a system
on which i have never actually run X at the console: it's a server
system on which i always run X to another display.
so i've never run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and i don't even
have an /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file on it.
it's my build server, not a desktop machine.

Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from
the same well: Love. If you love yourself and everyone and everything
around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
