Bug#532623: [xserver-xorg] install hangs at Setting up xserver-xorg (1:7.4+2)
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.4+2
Severity: critical
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
This bug report is not being submitted from the machine the bug is on so
disregard the package information. The machine the bug is on is severely broken due to
trying to install xserver-xorg 1:7.4+2. The machine that is broken is an up to date
squeeze box. I tried to install gnome-session, and gnome-settings-daemon from sid.
When I did that it wanted to install xserver-xorg 1:7.4+2. Synaptic hung with the last line
in the console saying:
Setting up xserver-xorg (1:7.4+2)
It would not complete so I killed synaptic. I can still ssh into the box.
After I removed all of the locks that were
hanging around, I did dpkg --configure -a to try and reconfigure whatever was partially configured.
That command also hangs with the last line saying:
Setting up xserver-xorg (1:7.4+2) ...
So, it looks like X is completely broken. I did Ctrl-Alt-backspace and everything went blank.
Ctrl-Alt f1... doesn't even bring up a terminal.
