Bug#497926: xvfb: Should depend on xfonts-base package
Package: xvfb
Version: 2:1.1.1-21etch5
Severity: wishlist
After install xvfb on a vanilla system without any other X11 components
I tried to start Xvfb and got the following error:
----------------------
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/j2me-toolchain:121
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
------------------------
The virtual server did not start. After installing the xfonts-base
package everything worked as expected.
It would be nice if xfonts-base or any other xfonts-* package satisfying
the needs of Xvfb would be declared as a dependency.
