Package: x11-common
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important

This problem is about an upgrade, which did not work very nicely.
Please close, if you are aware of the problem, otherwise either a
workaround should be implemented (if you can see what the underlying
problem is) or the Update guide for Etch needs to contain a note how
to properly deal with this (I probably did not choose the wisest
path).


I am currently upgrading from Sarge to Etch of 2006-05-19. First the most
important once (apt, dpkg) and now I wanted to switch to xorg. Since I
did not know where to start (blame me on this), I issued:

apt-get install xfree86-common

and x11-common died with:
apt-listchanges: Wollen Sie fortsetzen? [J/n]?

Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

So I see two problems:
a) /etc/X11/Xsession.d is not empty, it contains:
remaxp:~# ls /etc/X11/Xsession.d
20xfree86-common_process-args.x11-common-tmp
30xfree86-common_xresources.x11-common-tmp
50xfree86-common_determine-startup.x11-common-tmp
90xfree86-common_ssh-agent.x11-common-tmp
99xfree86-common_start.x11-common-tmp

b) /etc/X11/Xsession is in both xfree86-common and x11-common, and 
   upgrade failed.

Issuing "apt-get -f install" the first error disappers, only the
second one remains:
Preconfiguring packages ...

"apt-get remove xfree86-common" does not proceed, as lots of dependencies
would not be satisfied, and "apt-get -f install" is recommended. This,
however, does not help (same as above). 

"apt-get install x11-common" does not help either.

Trying to remove xfree86-common by dpkg or installing x11-common
yields the same error.

Interestingly, the file/directory "/etc/X11/Xsession" does not exist:
remaxp:~# ls -d /etc/X11/X*
/etc/X11/X             /etc/X11/Xsession.d
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4  /etc/X11/Xsession.options.x11-common-tmp
/etc/X11/Xloadimage    /etc/X11/Xsession.x11-common-tmp
/etc/X11/Xresources    /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

I try to rename the Xsession.d one:
remaxp:/etc/X11# move Xsession.d Xsession.d.old
»Xsession.d« -> »Xsession.d.old«

Now I am rather stuck. I try 
"dpkg -i --force-overwrite overwrite x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all.deb"
but it tells me that it needs lsb-base first (it would ignore the
overwrite-problem), so first I install lsb-base which ends in:
Richte xfree86-common ein (6.9.0.dfsg.1-6) ...
(Installing xfree86-common).

Now x11-common installs like a charm:
remaxp:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i
x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-6_all.deb

Upgrading from sarge to latest etch should work fine (and we are not
going to fix it anymore anyway).
