Bug#318425: nothing forces xserver-xfree86 -> xserver-xorg
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important
When starting with sarge, xserver-xfree86 stays on the computer and
xserver-xorg isn;t installed if you don't have the x-window-system-core
metapackage installed.
Possible solutions:
1.:
- create a xserver-xfree86 transition package that depends on
xserver-xorg
- version the xserver-xfree86 conflict in xserver-xorg
- drop the xserver-xfree86 transition package after the release
of etch
2.:
- let xserver-common conflict with xserver-xfree86
- drop the Provides: xserver-xfree86 from xserver-xorg
- all other packages depending on xserver-xfree86 have to
adjust their dependencies
Both are possible solutions, but I'd personally slightly prefer
the second one.
