Package: dpkg Version: 1.4.1.1 Severity: important After removing the package xbase (which was already on the config-files state and had a conffile called /etc/X11/Xsession.options) the /etc/X11/Xsession.options file (which was actually from xfree86-common) was removed, breaking the X windows system if you did not have twm, and forcing everybody to use plain twm with no menu system (which means you cannot run anything).
I think that caused the breakage on someone else's computer after asking him to remove xbase (which I thought I'd removed though the conffiles remained). -- System Information Debian Release: 2.1 Kernel Version: Linux cesarb2 2.2.1 #1 Fri Jan 29 14:33:03 EDT 1999 i586 unknown Versions of the packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU Libc: shared libraries ii libncurses4 4.2-3 Shared libraries for terminal handling ii libstdc++2.9 2.91.60-5 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version)
