Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.12 Followup-For: Bug #362891 Well, I was hoping to diff the xserver.org.postinst between the .10 and .12 releases.. but dpkg -x doesn't extract these files from my old .10 .deb in my apt cache.
I thought it might help to note I received both a failure on the pre-inst and post-inst after I tried to dpkg -i the .10 deb (which conflicted with x11-common) to solve my problems.. but I couldn't repeat this double failure, until I ran bugreport.. and sure enough it just happened again in another shell. The following output was from commands executed back-to-back.. note the last one has only the pre-inst failure: IBM-MAIN:/usr/src# dpkg -i --debug=10 xserver-xorg_1%3a7.0.12_all.deb D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci' (Reading database ... 151557 files and directories currently installed.)

I expect little hiccups with major transitions like this, as I have configuration entropy dating back from Potato. I knew forcing the dist-upgrade could have consequences.. but my X is still up 7.0 all weekend, with manual start of gnome, and no gdm.. but hey, I'm working :) - I'm just not going to hit CTRL-ALT-Backspace until this little bug is figured out here.. My PPC laptop is purring with updates from this morning on 7.0.10; I won't try upgrading it in case this X dies.. iMac -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT
