(xbase-clients, rather - your reply just went to me, sorry I didn't get round to responding.) I *think* the problem is in apt, not xbase-clients. If you had startx before the upgrade, you had xbase-clients - which means that something in the upgrade caused xbase-clients to be removed. A number of packages, including things like xfonts-base and xlibs, conflict with old versions of xbase-clients, but this should have caused xbase-clients to be upgraded rather than removed. However, without a log of the upgrade (preferably with '-o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1'), I doubt anyone will be able to find the problem. If you happen to be upgrading another machine and notice that apt wants to remove xbase-clients, please try this. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
