Both of these should be transitive issues that won't affect future versions of the xorg packages; and users who experience this bug can fix it with a reinstall of x11-common. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Just to add to the fun, today's upgrade of X also seemed to re-write the /usr/X11R6/bin/X symlink.

Hmm, this was supposed to have been fixed in xserver-xorg 1:7.0.11 by removing the symlink in question. :/ So there are two bugs here -- xserver-xorg needs to drop the symlink, and x11-common needs to bump its versioned conflict with xserver-xorg... The first can be fixed by just removing the debian/xserver-xorg.links file from the source package. The second can be fixed by changing the Conflicts to xserver-xorg (<< 1:7.0.12) -- assuming it's fixed in the next maintainer upload. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
