Bug#388568: xserver-xorg: postinst can hang



Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 7.1.0-1
Severity: Grave
Justification: Renders package unusable

When trying to make a live CD using live-package, the install hangs on the
postinst of xserver-xorg.  Breaking out of it and doing dpkg --configure
--pending by hand (so the debconf frontend is not noninteractive) in the
chroot results in a looping null_string_error (from templates).  No question
is asked, just the error and when I press Ok the error reappears.  Looking at
the postinst, this can only come from line 1249, getting a monitor identifier.

I have no idea why this happens now though, since yesterday I managed to make
some CD images.  Perhaps a new debconf version was released in between...
