Bug#616010: xserver-xorg: dexconf fails to generate xorg.conf file
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.5+8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
*** Please type your report below this line ***
The bug report concerns the script /usr/bin/dexconf that is
provided by package xserver-xorg in Debian squeeze (in lenny
it works fine).
The shell-script dexconf silently fails to create the file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf in Debian squeeze. No error message is
generated.
This is a "set -e" script. When I comment the "set -e" line,
the xorg.conf if generated, but in an improper way, and
the following error message is shown:
10 xserver-xorg/config/device/bus_id doesn't exist
This error message is generated by debconf, that is used by
dexconf.
I try the command: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, but
after this the dexconf failure persists.
