Olafur,
When I try to remove xserver-xorg the Debian system tells that I have to
reinstall it first. If I try to reinstall it, I am told to first remove it
(see earlier posting). In both cases the reason is the ugly inconsistent
configuration. Two examples of this are the results of your proposals (see
below). To be complete, I did include all output, but don't read the lines
marked "not important" since they are secondary and of secondary interest as
regards THE problem and should so far be ignored:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg --purge xserver-xorg
dpkg: error processing xserver-xorg (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
xserver-xorg
You may have to try the "--force all" option. I often found it necessary
during the years when I used testing, and I never got burned, but maybe I
was just lucky. This was one of the reasons I stopped using testing.
Speaking of testing, in another posting you mentioned that you were
a newbie. I admire your pluck and daring.
