Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.14
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After an apt-get dist-upgrade today, the X server would no longer start.  Running "startx" gave no output, and when gdm refused to start up it gave no error message.

This was apparently solved when I thought to do "apt-get install xserver-xorg".  I did this just to make sure the package was up-to-date.  But when I ran it I found that xserver-xorg had not been installed at all!  After installing it, tthe X server and gdm now seemingly start up correctly.

This is probably not a bug in the xserver-xorg package per se.  Most likely it is a bug in another package that should, but does not, depend on this package.  However I didn't know where else to report it.

Also of interest is that when I ran reportbug it reported that my version of xserver-xorg was more recent than that in debian.  I'm not sure what this could mean, except for the possibility that an older version has been uploaded since I installed it (mere minutes ago).

Changes: 
 xorg (1:7.0.19) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Christian Perrier ]
   * Rewrite templates to make them more compliant with Developer's Reference
     6.5
     - Update Japanese translation (Kenshi Muto).
     - Update French translation (Christian Perrier).
     - Update Galician translation (Jacobo Tarrio).
     - Update Hungarian translation (SZERVÃ?C Attila).
 .
   [ David Nusinow ]
   * Add x11-common template to warn people that on upgrade their server may be
     removed. This template also tells people to install the xorg package to
     fix the problem. This is an ugly workaround and I welcome a better
     solution if someone can find it. (closes: #363169)
   * Allow ICE and Socket dir to be set up in non-verbose mode. Thanks Gilmar
     Santos Jr, Frank Mehnert, and Aleksey Midenkov for the reports and the
     patches.  (closes: #367556, #363427, #366378)
   * Implement a status call in x11-common's init script for LSB compliance
   * Add LSB dependency info to x11-common init script. Note that I have no way
     of testing it but the submitter claims that it's partially tested
     elsewhere. Thanks Petter Reinholdtsen. (closes: #335348)
   * Set +e in Xsession prior to executing anything in Xsession.d. This should
     prevent any one bad script from killing the X startup process. Thanks
     Eduard Bloch. (closes: #331553)
   * Recover old changelog entries from the 6.8 and 6.9 era and put in to
     changelog.Debian.old. Install this file in the x11-common package. Thanks
     Kevin B. McCarty. (closes: #364087)
   * Make several improvements to the code that makes /usr/X11R6/bin a symlink
     + Move the logic to perform the switch to the x11-common preinst
     + If the rmdir command fails, use debconf to inform the user
     + Use debhelper's normal methods to create the symlink, so that the
       packaging infrastructure is aware of it
     Thanks to Eduard Bloch, Steve Langasek, Daniel Stone, and Vincent Lefevre
     for helping hammer this out. (closes: #362885, #363699)
   * Add missing quotes in 20x11-common_process-args. Thanks Greg Kochanski.
     (closes: #347481)
   * Re-add call to update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d in x11-common postinst
   * Bump standards version to 3.7.2.0
   * Increment version with xdm conflict to the current version in testing and
     unstable. (closes: #363462)
