Hi Branden, Thanks for responding. > Sounds like you made local modifications to the conffile > /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias, and dpkg was preserving them. dpkg will "preserve" a removed file? I had not made any local modifications to that file. All the alias files have the same date and time (except for the new version I copied from the extracted xfonts-base package): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11/fonts/misc$ ls -l *.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1322 2003-11-07 11:32 xfonts-artwiz.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5737 2004-03-10 07:15 xfonts-base.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 533 2003-11-07 11:32 xfonts-base-transcoded.alias -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5272 2003-11-07 11:32 xfonts-bolkhov-cp1251-misc.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8422 2003-11-07 11:32 xfonts-terminus.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1363 2003-11-07 11:32 xtel.alias I'm now just wondering how xfonts-base.alias ended up with iso8859-15 instead of 8859-1. I'm also not sure that the update yesterday is what broke things, as I may have had the server running continuously for more than one sid update -- perhaps a month (or longer). Was there a time where xfonts-base.alias had 8859-15 in it? Doesn't seem likely.
