Hi Peter and all the other debianeers... I figured out my problem with the X-installation: apt had "stable" instead of "slink" in its config file -> I only updated part of the packages (which delsect-ftp for slink) and dselect apt grabbed the stable-package-files again :(
Seems to work now (at least I can see the xterm, etc. -packages now). I just wonder why apt segfaults when used in command-line (dselect-apt works fine).
