Package: compiz
Version: 0.2.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


When executing the following command :

compiz --replace

from an X terminal window, the X server crashes.

Compiz was working fine until my last apt-get update
which upgraded xserver-xorg to version 7.1.0-7.

I'm guessing you didn't install the nvidia-glx package but installed the
driver manually? In that case you should consider using dpkg-divert(8) which
will prevent dpkg from overwriting locally installed files.

I'm closing this bug.
