Bug#373961: xserver-xorg: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't change xorg.conf
Subject: xserver-xorg: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't change xorg.conf
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
The only way for me to configure my xorg.conf file at the moment is
dpkg -P --force-depends xserver-xorg && apt-get install xserver-xorg
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg asks me all the questions and complains
xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/X; file has
been customized
I could get rid of this message by
readlink /etc/X11/X|md5sum>/var/lib/x11/X.md5sum
but the message comes back if I reinstall xserver-xorg again.
I have asked for help in #debian and I tried to recreate the md5sums in
/var/lib/x11/ but the xorg.conf file is not changed on dpkg-reconfigure.
HTH, Micha
