Hi, ran a dist-upgrade last night on my "unstable" box and xserver-xfree86 is stuck in unconfigurable limbo.
first error: Setting up xserver-xfree86 (4.0.2-11) ... dexconf: /etc/X11/XF86Config already exists. dpkg: error processing xserver-xfree86 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xfree86 I mv my config out of the way and get to: Setting up xserver-xfree86 (4.0.2-11) ... dexconf: cannot generate configuration file; shared/xfree86v3/config/inputdevice/mouse/port not set. Aborting. Reconfigure the X server (e.g., with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86") to correct this problem. dpkg: error processing xserver-xfree86 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xfree86 dpkg-reconfigure (as sugested), doesn't work because the package isn't fully installed. I've tried removal and reinstall and every force option I could think of with dpkg and apt to no avail. X does work (once I put the config back), so I guess I'm not too worried. But I'm curious what's going on and how to fix it. -Jon
