This maybe related... Maybe not. I am not an X expert. However the problem seems familiar.
I am running Debian Unstable. My current xserver-xfree86 package is as follows: iU xserver-xfree8 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 the XFree86 X server However when I try to upgrade it fails with the following message: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be upgraded: xserver-xfree86 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 94 not upgraded. 162 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/5626kB of archives. After unpacking 545kB of additional disk space will be used.
