Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Severity: normal Hi everyone,
I installed Debian on a diskless machine. I mount root and home as nfs from another machine. The root directory only get's mounted by this machine and is not in use by any other box. When I install xserver-xfree86 debconf asks all the usual questions, but the resulting XF86Config-4 file contains nothing at all. After install it complains about not being able to remove /tmp/dexconf-tmp-12956, because it is not empty. I tried a couple times, removing xserver-xfree86 with dpkg -P as well as dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 nothing changed. Only /tmp/dexconf-tmp-xxxxx gets new numbers every time. This problem seems to have been touched upon in bug #241532, which seems to have been closed. In there it said to delete /var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum, but that didn't help either. This bug leaves x completely broken. The only fix is to copy another XF86Config-4 from another installed X on another machine. I will do this and hope it works, if it doesn't I will write back. -- Lassen Sie Ihren Gedanken freien Lauf... z.B. per FreeSMS GMX bietet bis zu 100 FreeSMS/Monat: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
