I updated /etc/apt/sources.list and that didn’t make any difference for me. 
However, I downloaded xorg_7.7+19_armhf.deb and ran the following commands:

sudo dpkg -i xorg_7.7+19_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install xorg
 (This resulted in a number of errors)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
logout

Maybe if I had just ran "sudo apt update” it would have worked. I may try that 
on another uSD.

Anyway I have ssh -X working now. I have another problem but I’ll start a new 
thread for it.

Thanks,
Alan
