Bug#447098: xserver-xorg: keyboard and mouse failed on lenny to sid upgrade
i think i did an apt-get install xserver-xorg -t unstable, then i changed my apt preferences to give sid the highest priority, then i did apt-get dist-upgrade. Then, is it possible that you upgraded xserver-xorg-core alone (or xserver-xorg, which is tightly coupled to xserver-xorg-core), then apt-get or aptitude complained that it would conflict with your old input drivers (mouse and kbd) and thus proposed to remove them, and you would have said ok? this is probably what happened. i probably should have paid closer attention. this is something to be keep in mind for the xorg transition to testing. if people are careless like i was they'll run into the same problem. btw, why does xserver-xorg both depends and recommends on xserver-xorg-video-all and xserver-xorg-input-all? shouldn't it be one or the other? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

How did you upgrade exactly? I've been upgrading multiple times between 7.2 and 7.3 when the latter was in experimental, I don't remember loosing my input packages like this as long as I was reading aptitude warnings/questions. There's an ABI bump for both input and video drivers between 7.2 (xserver-xorg-core 1.3 in testing) and 7.3 (1.4 in unstable). So if you upgrade xserver-xorg-core to unstable, you need to upgrade the drivers too, i.e. input-mouse, input-kbd, and your video driver package too. We have defined some conflicts to prevent you from having a driver from testing while you have xserver-xorg-core from unstable. But also, you must to have at least one input and one video driver from unstable to satisfy xserver-xorg-core dependencies. If (after the upgrade) you had xserver-xorg-core 1.4 installed without input-mouse and input-kbd, it means you had another input driver from unstable installed, for instance evdev or synaptics. Then, is it possible that you upgraded xserver-xorg-core alone (or xserver-xorg, which is tightly coupled to xserver-xorg-core), then apt-get or aptitude complained that it would conflict with your old input drivers (mouse and kbd) and thus proposed to remove them, and you would have said ok? Maybe /var/log/dpkg.log or /var/log/aptitude will help you remember what happened exactly? Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
