Hm. The config script should have automatically trashed them. # migrate to XFree86 4.2, where there are no pex or xie modules db_get xserver-xfree86/config/modules SELECTED_MODULES="$(echo $RET | awk 'BEGIN { RS=", "} {print $1}')" # are the pex or xie modules selected? if echo "$SELECTED_MODULES" | egrep -q "(pex|xie)"; then # get rid of them SELECTED_MODULES=$(echo "$SELECTED_MODULES" | egrep -v "(pex|xie)") SELECTED_MODULES=$(echo $SELECTED_MODULES | sed 's/ /, /g') db_set xserver-xfree86/config/modules "$SELECTED_MODULES" fi Or did you bring this on yourself by adding them by hand, and not letting debconf handle them? > > 2) Does the above cause the server to crash? > > No. > > > It wouldn't make sense for me to have xserver-xfree86 conflict with the > > xext package, because some people might still want that package > > installed, to use with the still-available XFree86 3.x servers. > > Agreed. > > I think what happened is that they were in 4.1.0, and all worked fine, > but they have been removed from 4.2.0, so suddenly xserver-xfree86 is > attempting to use the old 3.3.6 versions.
