Would putting back xserver-xfree86 as a transitional package suffice? Since I don't know how to reproduce this problem locally, my best guess is that the server gets removed due to the conflict with x11-common and then nothing is able to install the new one because xserver-xorg doesn't exist to be marked for upgrade. Putting back an empty xserver-xfree86 that pulls in xserver-xorg should suffice in this corner case, letting us remove the note all together. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
