Hi again, Making the symlinks manually is a workaround for this problem:
$ ln -s /etc/X11/cursors/crystalgreenleft_classic.theme /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme $ mkdir /usr/share/icons/default $ ln -s /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme After doing this, the package configures (though still not without errors): Setting up crystalcursors (1.1.1-11) ... Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/sbin/update-alternatives line 285. update-alternatives: warning: /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme has been changed (manually or by a script). Switching to manual updates only. update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/cursors/crystalgrayleft_nonanim.theme to provide /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (x-cursor-theme) in auto mode. update-alternatives: using /etc/X11/cursors/crystalblue.theme to provide /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (x-cursor-theme) in auto mode. Afterward, the theme is reset to the default ("crystalblue"), though I had "crystalgreen" selected before the update.
