Subject: xfonts-base: xorg wont start could not open default cursor font 'cursor' Package: xfonts-base Version: 1:1.0.0-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
*** Please type your report below this line *** I did a fresh install of etch using business card disk, installed desktop packages. I then upgraded to sid from etch. I had a working X initially through the point of the dist-upgrade. In fact X continued to work until I did a reboot (I did a reboot because of a reinstall of linux-image-2.6.16, and system warning reboot neccessary because of reinstall of same kernel). Now after reboot X wont start with error message in X.log Fatal server error: could not open default cursor font 'cursor' Now I did a apt-get remove --purge xfont-base and I get an error message warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is not a directory warning: /etc/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is not a directory warning: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc does not exist or is not a directory and same sort of message with apt-get install xfont-base. These directories are present on other sid machines I have. They have files such as 1) ls /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc fonts.alias fonts.cache-1 2) ls /etc/X11/fonts/misc xfonts-base.alias This absence seems to be the source of my problems. What can I do to solve them? Is this a bug in xfonts-base?
