Bug#380061: Please provide a workaround while the bug is not fixed.

[Charles Plessy <charles-debian-nospam@plessy.org>]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Followup-For: Bug #380061

Dear Strike force,

The file /etc/X11/xorg.conf says:

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

But when running this command, I get the following error message :

xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/X; file has been customized

(Note that it seems that the name is unfortunately truncated to the name of
another existing file.)

I know how to modify the file by hand, so I can survive. But could you provide in
this bug report a method to re-enable automatic updating ? I think that this would
help others.

Thanks !
