Subject: startx has vanished in today's X build
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 20:26:57 -0500
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.0.2-3
Severity: normal

  The most recent update of X seems to have removed startx.  The ChangeLog
says that the upstream version has been replaced with a Debian-specific
version; I suspect that probably there's a glitch in the build process
that makes the new startx not get installed.
