Package: x11-common Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 Severity: important
Yesterday, I tried to install/upgrade X11/xorg to 7.0. Despite thinking that it might proceed smoothly, it got tangled up not being able to configure x11-common, instead it leaves a broken 6.9.0 version of x11-common in place. I've tried aptitude dist-upgrade, purge, dpkg --configure -a numerous times, nothing seems to be getting me past this point. The symlink (I think) should be /usr/include/X11 ->../X11R6/include/X11. However, dpkg --reconfigure -a barfs here, not processing the symlink correctly. Here is a snippet of such a session: x11-common postinst warning: /usr/include/X11 symbolic link points to wrong location ../X11R6/include/X11/ Analyzing /usr/include/X11: Analyzing ../X11R6/include/X11/: /../X11R6: nonexistent; directory contents of /../: Searching for overlapping packages... dpkg: error processing x11-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: x11-common I couldn't include the output of the directory contents - it prints the root '/' directory contents. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages x11-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.2 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.16.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii lsb-base 3.1-10 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip x11-common recommends no packages. -- debconf information: x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value: 0 x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users: Console Users Only x11-common/experimental_packages: x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users: console x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value/error: * x11-common/x11r6_bin_not_empty: * x11-common/upgrade_issues: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
