** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ In the Karmic release, this fix was dropped accidentally.  This causes a regression for people who do new installations, which makes xauth required again even for local users.  It does not affect upgraders since earlier versions of the package installed it and no versions actually remove it so the file would still be in place.
+ 
+ [Development Fix]
+ The fix has been committed to xorg git and will be made available when we next update xorg in Lucid.
+ 
+ [Release Fix]
+ The debdiff attached to this bug restores the file.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Essentially none.  This file had been present up until very shortly before karmic released with no ill effect.  This change does nothing more than restore the file.
+ 
  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  recent NetworkManager upgrade reveals that X sessions cannot deal with a
  changed hostname. Further investigation showed that fedora and opensuse
  dont have this issue.
