Subject: xbase inistent about creating XF86Config, even if exists

Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.1-2

Firstly, I do have an XF86Config:
chiark:src> ll /etc/XF86Config 
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        13075 Jul 22 01:28 /etc/XF86Config
chiark:src>

However, when I installed xbase it inappropriately asked me whether I
wanted to create one, and wouldn't take `no' for an answer.  I had to
hit ^C to quit.

See below.

Ian.
