Yes, all packages are installed since more than 1 year. I upgrade (apt-get update/upgrade) the system and as some packages concerning X were modified I made a try with X (was not OK since many months). I do : apt-get install x-window-system-core Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, x-window-system-core is already the newest version. So, all seems OK, but I have that bloody #?!@ message ! I look at some packages : dpkg --status xserver-common Package: xserver-common Status: install ok installed .... dpkg --status xfonts-base Package: xfonts-base Status: install ok installed .... dpkg --status xfonts-100dpi Package: xfonts-100dpi Status: install ok installed .... dpkg --status xfonts-75dpi Package: xfonts-75dpi Status: install ok installed .... dpkg --status xfonts-scalable Package: xfonts-scalable Status: install ok installed .... dpkg --status xutils Package: xutils Status: install ok installed ..... I try to reinstall xutils as all font packages require xutils and ... surprise ... apt-get install xutils Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: cpp-3.2 The following NEW packages will be installed: cpp-3.2 1 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 112 not upgraded. 1 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/750kB of archives. After unpacking 414kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Very strange O Bytes to get ? (the package not fully installed is "ipmasq" which abort at install time). I look in /var/.../arc and I found the offending file as a result of a previous upgrade but not installed ? The xutils package seems to install well : Preparing to replace xutils 4.2.1-6 (using .../xutils_4.2.1-15_m68k.deb) ... Unpacking replacement xutils ... ... All went OK, but X still not working complaining about its "fixed" font. I try to comment out all the fonts in the section and I get the same results, with or without xfs, with or without fonts the result is the same ! Any ideas ?
