Bug#365282: xserver-xorg 7.0.15 fails installation (pre-inst exit status 10)
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.14
Severity: important
xserver-xorg 7.0.15 seems to be uninstallable.
I have moved the files it gives warnings on out of the way, and it still
fails. Seems to be in the pre-inst script, which I took a peek at but
was far too complex for me to deduce exactly what is happening ;)
Thanks.
