Configuring x11-common ----------------------
Major possible upgrade issues Some users have reported that upon upgrade to the current package set, their xserver package was no longer installed. Because there is no easy way around this problem, you should be sure to check that the xserver-xorg package is installed after upgrade. If it is not installed and you require it, it is recommended that you install the xorg package to make sure you have a fully functional X setup. rmdir: /usr/X11R6/bin: Directory not empty Cannot remove /usr/X11R6/bin directory This upgrade requires that the /usr/X11R6/bin directory be removed and replaced with a symlink. An attempt was made to do so, but it failed, most likely because the directory is not yet empty. You must move the files that are currently in the directory out of the way so that the installation can complete. If you like, you may move them back after the symlink is in place. This package installation will now fail and exit so that you can do this. Please re-run your upgrade procedure after you have cleaned out the directory. dpkg: error processing pool/main/x/xorg/x11-common_7.0.22_i386.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 System startup links for /etc/init.d/x11-common already exist.
