Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.0.0 Severity: grave After login in a sarge chroot, I installed tetex-bin (probably that can be much minimized to only xfree86-common, but I don't have time for testing) and then changed sources.list to point to sid.
After apt-get update, I get upon apt-get dist-upgrade (everything with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive): [...] Unpacking replacement xfree86-common ... dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/etc/X11/Xsession.d': Directory not empty dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/etc/X11/Xresources': Directory not empty Selecting previously deselected package x11-common.
