Bug#362891: xserver-xorg: Evidence of post and pre-install failures
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.12
Followup-For: Bug #362891
Well, I was hoping to diff the xserver.org.postinst between the .10 and
.12 releases.. but dpkg -x doesn't extract these files from my old .10
.deb in my apt cache.
I thought it might help to note I received both a failure on the
pre-inst and post-inst after I tried to dpkg -i the .10 deb (which
conflicted with x11-common) to solve my problems.. but I couldn't repeat
this double failure, until I ran bugreport.. and sure enough it just
happened again in another shell.
The following output was from commands executed back-to-back.. note the
last one has only the pre-inst failure:

I upgraded on Friday, and was up and running with 7.0 after some apt cycles,
including reviewing of "dpkg -l | grep 6.9", and "cat /var/log/dpkg.log" for
'removes' I should add back in after the upgrade. I expect little hiccups with
major transitions like this, as I have configuration entropy dating back from
Potato. I knew forcing the dist-upgrade could have consequences.. but my X is
still up 7.0 all weekend, with manual start of gnome, and no gdm.. but hey, I'm
working :) - I'm just not going to hit CTRL-ALT-Backspace until this little bug
is figured out here..
My PPC laptop is purring with updates from this morning on 7.0.10; I won't
try upgrading it in case this X dies..
