Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-5
Severity: normal

After "apt-get install xserver-xorg" the command "startx" fails with a 
message "Cannot find font 'fixed'". The problem is fixed by installing 
xfonts-base. Is this a missing dependency?

No, it's not.  If you want a full X Window System, install the xorg
metapackage.  The X server doesn't depend on having fonts available
locally, as you can use a font server, so a dependency on xfonts-base
would be wrong.

Cheers, and thanks for your report,
Julien
