I agree you are entirely right on principle; I thought the appearance of xserver 1.11 in PPAs presaged its appearance in Oneiric, but you set me straight on that. There would be no sense having packages in the same repository break one another. Anyone's Oneiric which failed to boot after an

Public bug reported: I'm sure this comes as no news, but the dependency on xorg-video-abi-10 and xorg-input-abi-12 will be bad news if and when xserver 1.11 oozes out of its present cage in X.Org Edgers and into Oneiric repositories. Forgive me if this is entirely misdirected. Maybe Robert or

Anecdotally, updating mountall from 2.25ubuntu1 (natty) to 2.31 (oneiric) is what appears to croak my system (which is virtualized). The system hangs at mountall on the next cold boot. I thought it was either base-files or initscripts, but since upgrading either one of these takes mountall with

My report appears to be invalid. My Plymouth hadn't been updated to take the /run transition into account, even if initramfs had been. At least that's the conclusion I draw. After reverting to a stable baseline, updating Plymouth, then updating base-files and initscripts, everything worked, even
