xserver-xorg fails to upgrade - config syntax errors

[Andy Price]

Trying to upgrade xserver-xorg today (at about 6:10pm) using .../xserver-xorg_7.0.0-0ubuntu31_i386.deb fails with preconfigure errors.

Steps to reproduce:
1) sudo apt-get update
2) sudo apt-get upgrade

Expected results:
1) xserver-xorg gets upgraded to the latest version

Actual results:
1) /tmp/xserver-xorg.config.87461: line 973: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
xserver-xorg failed to preconfigure, with exit status 2

(full output dump on its way)

This is an output of the upgrade run, showing the syntax errors given by the preconfiguration of xserver-xorg

I've noticed that 7.0.0-0ubuntu32 has been released about an hour ago which fixes a typo in xserver-xorg.in

I'll retest once this has hit the repository.

Dupe of bug #41605 - rejecting (sigh)
