After upgrading XFree86 from 4.2 to 4.3.0-5, I was unable to start X11; it
exited
with the following error: "could not open default font 'cursor'". A quick google
and I found someone who had solved this problem by reinstalling artwiz-cursor. I
didn't have that installed already, but installing it fixed my problem (and I
got
a cool cursor). I imagine I could have used a different cursor package. Is this
a missing dependency?

Some rogue package may have "uninstalled" your fonts.dir file.
If you identify what package was, please file a severity-serious bug
against it; it's a violation of Debian Policy to ship such files, as
they need to be regenerated.

That depends on the precise cause of the problem, which may be difficult
to determine now.

In any case, it looks likely that it was a local problem.
Closing as unreproducible per submitter.
