Bug#362524: missing conflict on xearth
After an upgrade to xorg 1:7.0.12, I was left with one file in
/usr/X11R6/bin: xearth. I subsequently discovered that xearth is
"non-free". Possibly you missed all the non-free package conflicts?
So I removed xearth, and /usr/X11R6/bin went away. X wouldn't start
because nothing could now be found in /usr/X11R6/bin. Kdm's config,
for example, contains the line
ServerCmd=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br
but it isn't the only one.
I ran "dpkg-reconfigure xorg", thinking it would install the symlink.
It didn't; I had to do so by hand. For the record: what is the proper
way to recover after cleaning out /usr/X11R6/bin?
Thanks,
-Steve
