Bug#452897: /etc/X11/X points to /bin/true on a clean sid install.



Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.3+6
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Installing a base Etch system (just the base, no X or fancy stuff),
migrating to Sid, and then apt-get installing xorg will install X
succesfully but will make it useless because of /etc/X11/X pointing
to /bin/true. GDM will fail showing an empty log. X will exit without
any output ('true' is not really verbose). xinit and startx will fail
with misterious errors like "server error" or "connection timed out".

Calling Xorg directly on the console works fine. The problem can be
fixed by linking /etc/X11/X to /usr/bin/Xorg.
