hi. i gave the wrong log files in error.. i saw this too and ran it as root.
i have got into a cyclical trap with this where i cannot install a higher version of X unless i uninstall the lower version, which i cannot as that is locked by other dependencies.
But thanks for the help. will step away from this problem for a while and then retry..
