Hi, Yesterday I ran the first apt-get upgrade on my unstable machine in a few months.
Predictatbly there were lots of packages to upgrade. There were also many that were held back. So I ran apt-get install for many of these held back packages, not paying that much attention to what they were - only watching out for other packages that would end up being removed (this was rather stupid in retrospect). As I got to a set of X packages, the configuration asked me to choose between Xfree86 and x.org . This was new to me, so I thought - why not make the switch and selected x.org. During unpacking, x11-common gave the error: trying to overwrite '/etc/X11/Xsession.options' which is also in package xfree86-common apt then stoped. it also will not allow me to install anything else until x11-common is installed. On reset, X will not start. Furthermore startx seems to be missing. The version of x11-common that gives this error is 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all Can anyone shed any light on this or do I just have to wait for -5 ? Does anyone know when that's going to be released?
