I'll be pushing a fix shortly, and I should be able to upload it tonight. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#452897: /etc/X11/X points to /bin/true on a clean sid install.
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.3+6 Severity: serious --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Installing a base Etch system (just the base, no X or fancy stuff), migrating to Sid, and then apt-get installing xorg will install X succesfully but will make it useless because of /etc/X11/X pointing to /bin/true. GDM will fail showing an empty log. X will exit without any output ('true' is not really verbose). xinit and startx will fail with misterious errors like "server error" or "connection timed out". Calling Xorg directly on the console works fine. The problem can be fixed by linking /etc/X11/X to /usr/bin/Xorg. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstablehttp.us.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===-+-= xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.4-3) | 2:1.4.1~git20071119-1 xserver-xorg-video-all | OR xserver-xorg-video-2| xserver-xorg-input-all | OR xserver-xorg-input-2| debconf (>= 0.5) | 1.5.17 OR debconf-2.0 | xkb-data| 1.0~cvs.20070916-1 OR xkb-data-legacy | x11-xkb-utils | 7.3+1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
