Public bug reported:

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"
