Package: xserver-xorg Version: 7.1.0-9 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
when installing xserver-xorg (by way of xorg) in a newly built LTSP chroot environment, it seems to select an arbitrary -video and -input package. i ended up with the following video/input and nothing else: xserver-xorg-video-apm xserver-xorg-input-acecad i suspect this is because of the recent changes to the dependencies to try and fix #403818: Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.1.1-11), xserver-xorg-video-1.0, xserver-xorg-input, debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, xkb-data | xkb-data-legacy, xbase-clients Recommends: xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-vesa, xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input-mouse, xserver-xorg-inpu t-all | xserver-xorg-input-kbd, laptop-detect, xresprobe, mdetect, discover1 | discover this allows any package providing xserver-xorg-video-1.0 to satisfy the dependency. same for xserver-xorg-input. if using apt-get, it will not typically consider the recommends, and apt appears to arbitrarily select whichever package it comes across first that satisfies the dependency. i suspect the following would be better: Depends: ... xserver-xorg-video-all | xserver-xorg-video-vesa | xserver-xorg-video-1.0, xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input-mouse | xserver-xorg-input, xserver-xorg-input-all | xserver-xorg-input-kbd | xserver-xorg-input ... this will default to using -video-all, fall back to -video-vesa, and allow anything providing -video-1.0 to satisfy the dependency. similar with -input, though the above still could leave you with only one of -mouse or -kbd. i have no idea how to get that perfectly while still allowing for unusual -input configurations. thanks! live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
