Thanks for persevering with this, Kent. OK. I installed xfonts-artwiz so that I could run your command above and then tried to apt-get install artwiz-cursor. Failed with the same error: Unpacking artwiz-cursor (from .../artwiz-cursor_1%3a1.3-2_all.deb) ... dpkg-divert: `diversion of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz-artwiz by artwiz-cursor' clashes with `diversion of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz-base by xfonts-artwiz' dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/artwiz-cursor_1%3a1.3-2_all.deb (--unpack): Truly, this is baffling. However, it's a side issue, no? All I really want is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf.gz so that I can get X to start. Unfortunately, the obvious doesn't work: $ (cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ && cp cursor.pcf.gz-base cursor.pcf.gz) Angus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
