Thanks for the report. We need a little more information: * We need /var/cache/apt/archive/xbase-clients_4.1.0-16_*.deb. I.e., the file apt downloaded. Please do not email it, but put it up on the web somewhere and provide us with a URL. * The output of the following 3 commands: + grep xinit /var/lib/dpkg/*.list + ls -l /etc/X11 + ls -l /usr/X11/lib/X11 * What was the previous version (if any) of xbase-clients that you were upgrading from? Was this a new install? Was there any output from xbase-clients *before* the 'Setting up xbase-clients (4.1.0-16)' message? -- G. Branden Robinson | Q: How does a Unix guru have sex?
