Hi, This looks like another case of bug 251690. The exit status 127 is returned by the `discover' program, which xserver-xfree86 calls to try and auto-detect your hardware. Unfortunately, a recent upload of one of the libraries used by discover (libcurl2, to be precise) incorrectly broke backward compatibility, hence discover fails. Merging this with #251690. Regards, Adam
