Making this bug RC so this doesn't go into testing as-is. I've got a fix lined up to fix this, just need to get around to actually sending it out. Thanks for the report, Julien

Thanks! That fixed my install. These leftover packages just happen, Debian unstable is too good to survive for years and years just doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" and "apt-get autoremove" without any reinstalls, even when moving to new hardware I just restore a backup of the older machine there ;) c'ya sven-haegar -- Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. - Ben F.

Either that, or it should not ship the files which used to be in x11proto-xf86misc-dev. There is a reason why x11proto-xf86misc-dev has been removed from Debian almost six years ago[1]. In the meantime, get rid of x11proto-xf86misc-dev and other obsolete junk on your system(s). Cheers, Sven 1. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678458
