I now renumbered xfs and xdm to K10, which is OK.  This is still a bug
in xbase-3.1.2-3 - I checked last night.

This is inside a case 'purge' block.  It does remove the xdm entries,
but forgets the xfs entries.

The scripts have to be match [KS][0-9][0-9]\w+, ie there must be two
digits.

This should only happen if the postrm is called with `purge' as its
argument (as that means the user said `dpkg --purge' rather than just
wanting a removal or upgrade).

Subject: X11 Font Server start/stop scripts

Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.2-1

While setting up the Font Server, I noticed a few problems...

I'm currently downloading version 3.1.2-3 to see if it has already
been fixed there.

/etc/init.d/xfs:

	starts xfs in the foreground.  It is not a daemon, so does not
	fork into the background by itself.  I added an '&'.

	When called with 'stop', it tried to start xfs.  I changed it
	to call 'start-stop-daemon'.

/etc/rc6.d/K1xfs - I changed this to be K99xfs, and started getting
	output at shutdown again.  It didn't seem to be getting
	stopped with such a "high" priority number.  Perhaps there is a
	problem with init?

xbase.postrm:

	Doesn't call 'update-rc.d' to remove the xfs entries.

Keep up the great work!

Debian is *great* :)
