Hi, I upgraded my Potato box to Progeny, and now to Debian testing. When I tried to install xserver-xfree86 (4.1), it started out fine, identified my printer, and then hung while installing/configuring. This also happened when I upgraded to Progeny/Newton. In the earlier case I just uninstalled the package.
Now though, I can't uninstall xserver-xfree86 - it exits with error status 10, because there is a problem with the pre-removal script. So I can't configure it or remove it. I am sure this has happened to other people - what can I do? There are no error messages on the install/configure - it just hangs (I have left it for up to 30 minutes) until I exit with Ctrl-C. Oh, this also happened when I had Progeny installed - it would not let me uninstall qps (which had installed normally) because of a problem with the pre-removal script. The next day, after a couple of reboots, it just unistalled with a simple "dpkg --uninstall qps". I have not had similar luck with xfree...
