Package: xvfb Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Severity: important Tags: patch The quotes around the option variables on the Xvfb command line inside of xvfb-run confuse Xvfb. To see this behavior, set ERRORFILE= to an actual file, then run xvfb-run. It will log an "Unrecognized option:" error.
This can be fixed by removing the offending quotes on $XVFBARGS and $LISTENTCP -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xvfb depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.3 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
