I wished it were that easy for me when I tried it two weeks ago. I know that the wiki entry for the 6.9 to 7.0 transition mentinos that /usr/X11R6/bin should be empty - I didn't catch that either, and I also had apera installed. Emphasizing that - maybe a bit more strongly - i.e., please remove opera if you installed it - might have been of more help. As upgrades go, this was one of the more difficult ones in my experience so far with Debian. I got the same problems as you, trying to upgrade x11-common and having it fail. Probably what I should have done is kept a log of things I tried in order to get it to finally work (and it did hinge on doing an upgrade of x11-common). I also had to upgrade install all the X11 related development files. But so far Xorg 7.0 is working smoothly, although at one time I had considered reinstalling etch :(. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
