Title:
  dexconf not working as documented.

Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I attempted to create a default xorg.conf file by running  "sudo dexconf".
  This ran with no messages, did not create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file like it is supposed to, and it returned an error code of 10.
  "man dexconf" implies that the only possible return codes are 0 and 1.

  Sequence of events:

  $ sudo dexconf
  $ echo $?
  10
  $ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
  $

  I also tried "sudo dexconf -o test.conf" with the same results: no
  file created and a return code of 10.

  Oddly when I did not use sudo I did get an error message: "debconf:
  DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open
  /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied"
