Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.7+8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

With the latest update to sid x11 released a day or so ago (1:7.7+8) x
fails to start.

This has be traced to /usr/bin/X (wrapper for X) is not configured, and
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc refers to this.

"Not configured" meaning?

Cheers,
Julien
Not configured meaning:

# ls -l /usr/bin/X
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/X: No such file or directory

That file is part of the xserver-xorg package.  Do you have that
installed?  If yes, does "dpkg-divert --list /usr/bin/X" output
anything?  If not, why not?

Cheers,
Julien
Bingo.

For some reason I had xserver-xorg-core installed, but not xserver-xorg. Whats strange is it was fine before the recent upgrade.

Anyway all fixed now, thanks for your help. I should have picked up on this one myself (or rather I had checked which package /usr/bin/X lived in - and for some reason identified x11-common ; mea culpa).

Thanks,

David.
