Xorg stopped working after a recent dist-upgrade of Lenny (Testing). The problem seems to be that the package xserver-xorg-core will not install. dpkg is unable to create `./usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so'. This does not seem to be mentioned in any bug reports. Here is some of the output:

[...] Should I completely purge Xorg and reinstall? If so, which package(s) should I purge?
