X itself) my fault, still catching up to woody This problem i got after upgrading X (from XF4.0.1-10 to XF4.0.1-11pre-version 2) from brandens site. Before the update i have made the symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults to etc/X11/app-defaults. After reinstall of X (4.01-10.deb's) the same problem. And this is very strange because i had a running XF4.0.1-10 before the upgrade got wrong. The solution for me was: removing the symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults to etc/X11/app-defaults. And mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. Then apt-get -f install Then apt-get update Did you tried 'apt-get -f install' ? I could be wrong with this "solution" but this worked for me. Anyone here who can verify this or has the right solution? Maybe it is not X-related? Good Luck Reiner Stallknecht -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
