Package: xorg Version: 1:7.0.20 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Thank you very much for moving everything from under /usr/X11R6 to the mess known as the /usr hierarchy. Now nothing works. After spending a lot of time to even manage to get X install after upgrade _removed_ all of X and x11-common refused to install at all (needed a kludge that looped creating symlinks from /usr/lib and /usr/include to /usr/X11R6 for it to not die in install scripts -- where's the option to "just fucking unpack it and mark installed"?), X now crashed (didn't reboot it afterwards, because I know this was coming). And now I can't boot it, because I can't install the nvidia driver. And all the other configs are fucked up too, because things are all over the place. You don't just go removing such an _established_ directory as /usr/X11R6 that all programs expect, and putting everything in a single basket. That's, indeed, the completely wrong direction to take. Application directories (/usr/pkg/package-version/ or maybe even /debian-testing/packag-version/) are the way to go, not taking this unix all in one basket mess even further. Now I hear everyone complaining "you shouldn't be running testing if you're not willing to go through all the trouble". Yeah, maybe I'll have to switch GoboLinux, for at least they're attempting at cleaning up things with app.dirs instead of the FHS idiocy (/media sucks too BTW; removable media should reside directly under root for comfortable names -- and symlinks aren't of much help there generally), although They Have Been Corrupted By The Marketdroid Conventiong Of Very Long and Cumbersome Names. Or maybe I should switch to Windows, for Linux keeps getting worse all the time, and on Windows at least there Firefox has a semi-usable file dialog, and I can could use a free browser. Wait... Opera also is not an option anymore as I have no functioning X.
