Bug#318425: Debian Bug: nothing forces xserver-xfree86 -> xserver-xorg
Hi,
I update my Debian Sid more or less daily, and this week I got hit by
this bug. After updating with synaptic and rebooting, kdm wouldn't
start. Trying to "startx" would give the message " /etc/X11/X is not
executable". Following the symlinks showed that, indeed, I was missing
a xserver package. After installing xserver-xorg everything went fine,
of course. Maybe your fix didn't arrive to the finnish mirror in time
:-)
Anyway, thanks for fixing this, I do believe it's an important bug. I
do have apt-listbugs installed to catch things like this one, but this
time it didn't report anything about the X upgrade of this week...
odd.
I installed the x-window-system-core metapackage that I was missing,
just in case ;-) Keep up the good work with Debian.
Iago "Andûr" García
