When upgrading xserver-xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 to 1:7.0.0 the installation fails. xserver-xorg 1:7.0.0 is installed _before_ x11-common 1:7.0.0 which replaces xserver-common (6.9.0.dfsg.1-4). Installed version of x11-common is 1:1.09, see below. Seem to be a dependency problem to me.

A number of terms are used to refer to the X Window System, including "X", "X Version 11", "X11", "X11R6", and "X11R7". The version of X used in Debian is derived from the version released by the X.Org Foundation, and is thus often also referred to as "X.Org". All of the preceding quoted terms are functionally interchangeable in an Debian system. #> dpkg -s x11-common Package: x11-common Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 136 Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org> Architecture: all Version: 1:1.09 Replaces: xfree86-common (<< 6.8.0) Conflicts: xserver-xorg (<< 6.8.2-33), xserver-common (<< 6.8.2-33), xorg-common (<< 6.8.2-16) Description: common files for X implementations This package contains common files for all current X implementations (not least the more-or-less canonical copyright file). .

It does not provide the actual server itself, but removing it is strongly discouraged. -- Svante Signell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
