Subject: postinst script hangs when installing on new system

Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 09:46:58 +1030

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.3+5

When installing the package on a system without a previous xorg version
installed/configured, I am prompted for the screen resolutions to use
and after answering, the install hangs indefinitely. I added set -x to
the postinst script and found that it hangs at this point:

+ for QUESTION in '"shared/default-x-server"' '"xserver-xorg/autodetect_mouse"' '"xserver-xorg/config/device/video_ram"' '"xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port"' '"xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol"' '"xserver-xorg/config/modules"' '"xserver-xorg/config/monitor/default-identifier"' '"xserver-xorg/config/monitor/identifier"' '"xserver-xorg/config/write_files_section"'

+ printf '%s\n' 'UNREGISTER shared/default-x-server'
