After an apt-get dist-upgrade today, the X server would no longer start.
Running "startx" gave no output, and when gdm refused to start up it gave
no error message.
This was apparently solved when I thought to do "apt-get install
xserver-xorg". I did this just to make sure the package was up-to-date.
But when I ran it I found that xserver-xorg had not been installed at
all! After installing it, tthe X server and gdm now seemingly start up
correctly.
This is probably not a bug in the xserver-xorg package per se. Most likely it
is a bug in another package that should, but does not, depend on this package.
However I didn't know where else to report it.
What version of X did you have installed before? Did you upgrade from
sarge?
I originally installed debian testing on my machine a year ago, and
upgraded it to unstable then. I have been running unstable since.
Also of interest is that when I ran reportbug it reported that my version
of xserver-xorg was more recent than that in debian. I'm not sure what
this could mean, except for the possibility that an older version has
been uploaded since I installed it (mere minutes ago).
What version was installed before?
How can I find out?
