Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.0.12 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi X maintainers! It seems that the font organization is completely crazy now: - X cannot find the fixed font anymore: The fixed enty in fonts.alias in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc is not included in the fonts.dir file - there are still two different hierachies: Up to now the xorg.conf files contain as fontpath /usr/lib/X11/fonts ... But /usr/lib/X11/fonts -> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts but the later is DIFFERENT from /usr/share/fonts/X11/... so in effect the fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11 are not included in the font path at all. - there are no man pages how to update the font system: mkfontdir which has been used till now is nothing else the mkfontscale script. All this is grave because one cannot start the X server, and even playing around with /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc and mkfontdir didn't fix the situation (the script could give a warning message that now you should use update-what-the-hell). After adding the fonts.scale by hand and adding it to the fonts.dir still now work, because of the above fonts path hierachy mismatch. What a grat disaster, to be honest! Forthermore, please include documentation, write up some transition document, it is NOT up to the user to find out everything by themselves. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (10, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-rc1-mm2 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages x11-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.72 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.15.5 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii laptop-detect 0.12.1 attempt to detect a laptop ii lsb-base 3.1-3 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip x11-common recommends no packages. -- debconf information: x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users: Anybody x11-common/experimental_packages: x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users: anybody x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value/error: x11-common/xwrapper/nice_value: -10 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
