Bug#390604: can't install xserver-xorg (null value loop)

[t u <towsonu2003@gmail.com>]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-1

I installed debian testing using the latest weekly netinst iso, only the
base system. I then updated the system, and then upgraded to unstable. I
then tried to install xserver-xorg. I wanted to install xfce at the end.

Unstable went into a loop. The dialogue looks like this:

|Configuring xserver-xorg|
Empty value
A null entry is not permitted for this value.
<Ok>

When I hit <Ok>, it goes back to the same dialogue.

This bug makes xserver-xorg uninstallable, hence unusable.

Thank you.
