I broke my Etch-i386-Installation yesterday (on an Acer-Aspire-1700 Laptop):
After an normal aptitude-update (updating of xorg components and some other stuff), X refuses to work. The problem is that I used VMware with WindowsXP and a cow-management software for my farm. So I can not use this essential software anymore. Quick help is needed! I localized the problem: dpkg is not able to install the new version of the xserver-xorg-core package (1.0.2-9 to 1.1.1-10), because of problems with the directory and file structure and the file libglx.so. The error looks like this: (Reading database ... 184077 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking xserver-xorg-core (from .../xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.1.1-10_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.1.1-10_i386.deb (--install): unable to create `./usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so': No such file or directory dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg-core_2%3a1.1.1-10_i386.deb Because aptitude installed already other updated xorg components the X-installation broke. I tried to delete the X-installation completely. This worked. But the new installation of xorg with xserver-xorg-core gave the same error dpkg tries to install xserver-xorg-core but does not finish because of libglx.so. So I can not even install any xorg-component neither use it. At the beginning of the problem I had the nvidia-binary-drivers installed. So I thought they messed up the libglx.so, but after I removed them nothing changed. Thank you for reading this, I hope we find a solution to this!
