need to reverse an apt-get upgrade
A moments inattention today and I lost my xorg in Debian Sid. The apt-get dist-upgrade resulted in this: Start-Date: 2014-02-07 14:31:32 Commandline: apt-get dist-upgrade Install: libgcrypt20:i386 (1.6.1-1, automatic), libxcb-image0:i386 (0.3.9-1, automatic), libxcb-icccm4:i386 (0.3.9-2, automatic), libxshmfence1:i386 (1.1-2, automatic), libxcb-xf86dri0:i386 (1.10-2, automatic) Upgrade: xserver-xorg-core:i386 (1.14.5-1, 1.15.0-2), xserver-common:i386 (1.14.5-1, 1.15.0-2), xserver-xephyr:i386 (1.14.5-1, 1.15.0-2), libio-socket-ssl-perl:i386 (1.966-1, 1.967-1) Remove: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics:i386 (1.7.3-1), xserver-xorg-video-tdfx:i386 (1.4.5-1), xserver-xorg-video-vmware:i386 (13.0.1-3), task-desktop:i386 (3.20), xorg:i386 (7.7+5), xserver-xorg-video-sisusb:i386 (0.9.6-2), xserver-xorg-video-savage:i386 (2.3.7-2), xserver-xorg-video-mga:i386 (1.6.3-1), xserver-xorg-video-r128:i386 (6.9.2-1), xserver-xorg-video-geode:i386 (2.11.15-1), xserver-xorg-video-neomagic:i386 (1.2.8-1), xserver-xorg-video-modesetting:i386 (0.8.1-1), xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion:i386 (1.7.7-2), xserver-xorg-video-cirrus:i386 (1.5.2-1+b1), xserver-xorg-video-nouveau:i386 (1.0.10-1), xserver-xorg-video-openchrome:i386 (0.3.3-1), xserver-xorg-video-intel:i386 (2.21.15-2), xserver-xorg-video-mach64:i386 (6.9.4-1+b1), xserver-xorg-input-all:i386 (7.7+5), xserver-xorg-input-wacom:i386 (0.23.0+20131011-1), xserver-xorg-video-fbdev:i386 (0.4.4-1), xserver-xorg-video-all:i386 (7.7+5), xserver-xorg-video-radeon:i386 (7.3.0-1), xserver-xorg-video-qxl:i386 (0.1.0-2.1), xserver-xorg-input-evdev:i386 (2.8.2-1), xserver-xorg-video-vesa:i386 (2.3.3-1+b1), xserver-xorg-video-trident:i386 (1.3.6-2), xserver-xorg:i386 (7.7+5), xserver-xorg-input-mouse:i386 (1.9.0-1+b1), xserver-xorg-video-ati:i386 (7.3.0-1), xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse:i386 (13.0.0-1+b1) End-Date: 2014-02-07 14:32:13 As you can see it upgraded xorg...but pulled out all the video drivers! I've tried to reinstall the various tasks but there is always something blocking it. I've also thought of just waiting days...weeks to see if the video drivers show up in Sid. If they do will they be reinstalled ? Any way to reverse this ? Anything I've tried has been a waste of time.
