Package: x11-common Severity: serious tags 400632 -wontfix Greetings,
The setuid usr/bin/X binary should not be shipped with x11-common
because it's not *needed* for X11 clients. That by itself is a good
enough reason. Put it in xserver-xorg-core or similar, not in
x11-common.
Additionally, x11-common gets pulled in on server for things like
libgd-xpm, which isn't entirely unreasonable if someone wants to
generate an X pixmap on a server. One could also have, I dunno,
*xterm* installed on a server for clients to use without have an X
server installed on the same server. Unless xterm *requires*
usr/bin/X, it shouldn't be installed as part of something xterm
depends on.
Thanks,
Stephen
