Apparently the upgrade from Debian 1.1 to 1.2 broke a daily cron job
which cleans up old catman files. The script used to work without any

Hmm, it's look like X is trying use /dev/cua[13] or a symbol link to one of
them. For instance, it might be that X is using /dev/mouse and the latter is

That will get rid of the error message, but X11 will still not
start. '/usr/X11R6/lib' needs to be added to /etc/ld.so.conf

Not too much breaks from 2.0.0 to 2.0.27. If you do so
and then you later experience difficulties with the

You probably issue make-kpkg under script.
Yes, you are right.
If so, you may build kernel whithout scripting.
