--- Begin Message ---Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.15 Severity: gravexserver-xorg cannot be installed on a clean system. "clean system" was createdusing DFS cd to bootstrap unstable. Previously I would have installed xwindows-system-core & gnome-desktop-environment to get my desktop.I wasn't totally sure what x-windows-system-core translated to with xorg, so Iguessed at xserver-xorg-core. This installed fine, but gdm wouldn't start(no /etc/X11/X symlink), so I proceeded to try and install xserver-xorg (which thinking about it is probably the one that creates this symlink, as well as thexorg config file). xserver-xorg gives: "subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 10" Rebuilding the package with -x in the preinst I can see that it's failing atthe call to /use/share/debconf/frontend. Sticking a couple of prints in thereI can see it's $confmodule->exitcode that's 10 on after the while ($confmodule->communicate) loop. I don't know anything about debconf, so I can't diagnose any further without some instruction. Please let me know what else I can do... Richard.
