That's correct. I didn't have ubuntu-desktop installed. If I had, it would have pulled in the new xorg package.
I don't see how it's user error that startx (xinit) and gdm can't function without the new xorg dependency though. Relying on ubuntu- desktop only covers the issue for most users. You have, I see, removed the "It is safe to remove this package" line from the ubuntu-desktop package description in edgy. You didn't address the second issue at all. -- upgrade from dapper misses xorg dependencies https://launchpad.net/bugs/58505 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
