Hello,
I'm on testing, after an upgrade for xorg and all xserver dependencies
some applications such as rdesktop/Xnest/ppracer don't seem to work
anymore.
i made sure that all dependencies are well installed, it turned out that
xserver-common gives me:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
xserver-common: Depends: x11-common (>= 6.8.1) but it is not going to
be installed
E: Broken packages

which is weird since x11-common is installed and X is running, i'm
currently on GDM/Fluxbox/Firefox/Evolution/Mozilla only
rdesktop/Xnest/ppracer give me the following error messages:

sadus@exodus:~$ rdesktop IP

I have the same problem in spades - X Windows wont start at all.

I tried apt-get install xserver-common and got the unmet dependencies
message with the statement X11-common is not going to be installed.

I tried apt-get -f install and got the message "0 upgraded, 0 newly
installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."

I tried apt-get install X11-common and got the message that the newest
version is already installed.
