The problem is caused by /usr/bin/dexconf not closing a redirection before exiting. File descriptor 4 was kept open, pointing to /tmp/dexconf-tmp-/DRI. Adding exec 4<&- solves the problem.

Bug#405782: [xserver-xorg] "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" stuck
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.1.0-9 Severity: grave Hi everyone, It would seem that "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" never succeeds to update /etc/X11/xorg.conf any more. At the end of the questions part, the following is displayed on the console : xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070106082628 rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/dexconf-tmp-6475': Directory not empty. xserver-xorg postinst warning: error while preparing new Xorg X server configuration file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.dpkg-new; not attempting to update existing configuration However, /tmp/dexconf-tmp-* is always empty (afterwards at least), and manually running dexconf generates a perfectly working /etc/X11/xorg.conf (even though it displays the same "Directory not empty" warning). I tried the same procedure on 4 newly installed hosts (debootstrap of etch to a nfsroot), and again after manually running dexconf, it always fails. Thanks. Best regards. -- Boris Dorès
