Bug#1008104: sid: No xserver-xorg-input-{evdev,libinput} after upgrade
Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:2.10.6-2+b1
Severity: important
I'm running debian unstable for 15+ years and usually perform an apt upgrade
manually about once per week. Yesterday I upgraded again, and suddenly after
the upgrade, xserver-xorg-input-{evdev,libinput} were no longer present, meaning
that I could not even enter my username in the display manager (wdm) after
system reboot.
No input was possible from either the built-in laptop/touchpad of my Lenovo
x260 keyboard/trackpad,
nor from externally-attached mouse + keyboard.
Luckily I'm technically skilled enough to boot into rescue mode, look at
Xorg.0.log,
see that no drivers were found for any of the input devices and then apt install
the evdev + libinput packages.
However, for most other users this would render their systems unusable, hence
I'm marking
the bug as 'important'.
So somehow during the continuous unstable upgrades (which I'm doing for
something like 4 years
on this laptop) decided that neither evdev nor libinput is a package to keep
through the most
recent dist-upgrade + autoremove I ran yesterday. Maybe a missing
depends/recommends somewhere?

I'm running unstable on my daily desktop + laptop for about 20 years now, surprisingly few problems, I would say not more than 1-2 per year typically.

Bug#1001390: xterm / uxterm / lxterm suddenly missing from alternatives
Package: xterm Version: 370-1 Severity: normal After upgrading xterm to the most recent package in xterm, suddenly the x-terminal-emulator alternative was pointing to gnome-terminal instead of uxterm (before the upgrade). Even worse, xterm and uxterm are apparently no longer even registered with the alternatives mechanism. I checked the debian changelog, and it didn't state any related change. So I conclude this is a bug and xterm / uxterm / lxterm should of course still show up in the alternatives, as it has always been. /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator on unstable: --- /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/x-terminal-emulator.1.gz /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper 40 /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-terminal.1.gz --- /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator on Debian 10: --- /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/x-terminal-emulator.1.gz /usr/bin/koi8rxterm 20 /usr/share/man/man1/koi8rxterm.1.gz /usr/bin/lxterm 30 /usr/share/man/man1/lxterm.1.gz /usr/bin/uxterm 20 /usr/share/man/man1/uxterm.1.gz /usr/bin/xterm 20 /usr/share/man/man1/xterm.1.gz --- -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_DIE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.32-5 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-4.2 ii libfreetype62.11.0+dfsg-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.10-1 ii libtinfo6 6.3-1 ii libutempter01.2.1-2 ii libx11-62:1.7.2-2+b1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.13-1.1 ii libxext62:1.3.4-1 ii libxft2 2.3.2-2 ii libxinerama12:1.1.4-2 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2+b3 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.12-1 ii libxt6 1:1.2.0-1 ii xbitmaps1.1.1-2.1 Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii x11-utils 7.7+5 Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic -- no debconf information
Bug#318948: xserver-xorg: radeon driver is missing X700 support
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch The debian X.org package doesn't include suport for the (now common in new notebooks) X700 chipset, as the 6.8.2 upstream release is also lacking support. However, X.org CVS has a very trivial patch (basically just adding PCI device id's), which I would love to see in debian unstable.
