Bug#383873: xserver-xorg-core: No dependency with xserver-xorg-video-all
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1:1.1.1-1
Severity: important
Hello X Strike Force,
Just 10 minutes ago, I did an
# apt-get update
# apt-get -t experimental install xserver-xorg-core
to try out AIGLX.
After that operation succeeded without requiering any additional package, I try
# /etc/init.d/gdm restart
that fails, hence, drops me at tty1. From the Xorg log I quickly realized that I also needed to upgrade to a newer version of xserver-xorg-video-ati in addition.
This solved the problem, and now AIGLX works with an ATI rv350.
Apparently xserver-xorg-core has a dependency with xserver-xorg-video that is a virtual package. I guess the requirement was met at the time I installed xserver-xorg-core.
It look like the package xserver-xorg-core should get a dependency with a recent xserver-xorg-video-all. I don't really know if it's a __bug__ actually or more a work in progress, but since it "broked" my system in some way, I felt like reporting.
I hope this will help you.
Sylvain.
P.S. I just felt adding a little congratulation for the work done by you guys. It is real pleasure to use Debian everyday.
