Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.0.23 Priority: wishlist The 'xephem' package from oldstable (and probably others) installed stuff at /usr/X11R6/bin/ and, since it is not present in sarge (or etch) it will break upgrade installations from users. Actually, as I described in #362996 such an upgrade is difficult to recover from (if you are a novice user and launching the upgrade with an X display). Since the wiki asks people to submit bugs to packages that have not transitioned I'm doing so with this package (the only one I had installed which had not transitioned yet). I don't know if the idea is to add all these possible packages into dependencies to x11-common but, if so, it would be great if the X team would a) extract a list of all packages in stable / old-stable which installed stuff in /usr/X11R6/bin/ b) determine which of those packages still have stuff there c) add those packages to the list of dependencies in x11-common If not, it would be great if, once polished, the information at http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg69To7 was rewritten to be used as a section on the future release notes (sarge->etch) and submitted as a followup to #362996. Thanks Javier
