Assuming all your packages are from testing, you've apparently discovered two bugs. > x11-common upgrade error: > ------------------------- > Preparing to replace x11-common 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 (using > .../x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all.deb) ... > Unpacking replacement x11-common ... > dpkg: error processing > /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all.deb (--unpack): > trying to overwrite `/usr/include/X11', which is also in package libxft-dev This is a bug in either libxft-dev or x11-common. You should file a bug report to both. In the mean-time you can force one to overwrite the other's /usr/include/X11 using 'dpkg --force-overwrite'. It is probably safer to have x11-common overwrite libxft-dev. > /var/log/messages error: > ------------------------ > Mar 5 20:16:12 localhost kernel: [drm] AGP 0.99 Aperture @ 0xe0000000 64MB > Mar 5 20:16:12 localhost kernel: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.7.0 20020828 on > minor 0 > Mar 5 20:16:12 localhost kernel: printing eip: > Mar 5 20:16:12 localhost kernel: f89db9c8 > Mar 5 20:16:12 localhost kernel: Oops: 0000 [...] > Mar 5 20:16:12 localhost kernel: Process Xorg (pid: 1433, stackpage=f3b4b000) This is *probably* a bug in Xorg's radeon driver, but possibly one in the kernel. (The fact that a bug in Xorg can do this is itself a major design flaw in X, but that is another matter). A bug should be filed against the Xorg package. To fix it, you might want to look into newer (or older) versions of Xorg. (That is a lot of work, though). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
