To work around this problem, if I remember correctly: - run apt-get install xorg, then it will complain about xserver-xorg, - run apt-get xserver-xorg, then it will complain about some <obscure_package> - run apt-get <obscure_package>, this time it will ask you to replace some packages, say yes - install xserver-xorg - install xorg
