--- Begin Message ---Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.0.22 Severity: normal I wasn't able to recreate xorg.conf today. One of many reasons that this was the case was because /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.postinst insists on using md5sums of links! I'm going to guess that /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum had an old value of the checksum, even though the /etc/X11/X link was one that the package had created--not me. Here is the relevant bits of /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.postinst: # compare the current and stored checksums; if they do not match, assume # that's the way the user wants it. # why, why, why, why, why, why, why are we md5suming this? -daniels if [ "$(readlink "$SERVER_SYMLINK" | md5sum)" = \ "$(cat "$SERVER_SYMLINK_CHECKSUM")" ] || \ [ "$(echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg" | md5sum)" = \ "$(cat "$SERVER_SYMLINK_CHECKSUM")" ] || \ [ "$(echo "/usr/bin/X11/Xorg" | md5sum)" = \ "$(cat "$SERVER_SYMLINK_CHECKSUM")" ] || \ ! [ -e "$SERVER_SYMLINK" ]; then I agree with daniels; why, indeed?! If it wasn't checking the (incorrect) sums, this test would have passed on my system. I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Simply check the value of $SERVER_SYMLINK and only muck with it if it doesn't exist, or it's a known old value. 2. Even better, do the usual dpkg thing: observe dpkg's --force-confdef (as well as --force-confold and --force-confnew) and create $SERVER_SYMLINK.dpkg-new or $SERVER_SYMLINK.dpkg-old appropriately. The user will find it and be able to ditch the new or old link appropriately. As a workaround, I ran the following command: sudo sh -c "readlink /etc/X11/X | md5sum > /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum" -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy:
