Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


Hi,

While upgrading my system with apt-get upgrade, installation
of xserver-xorg failed on the preinstallation script with
error 64 (no other info was made available).

Now the entire X subsystem doesn't work.
