I naively said yes to continue in :

# apt-get install kooka (for kde-scanner software)

the uppgrade get stuck at xorg-xserver-core_2%3a1.1.1-10_386.deb
error occurs when trying to overwrite "/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy"

I have not rebooted the system yet, so, have windows, any ideas for solving the impasse..

As far as I know kooka comes already installed with Kanotix

Are you trying to install it or upgrade it ?

root@KanotixBox:~# apt-cache policy kooka

If you did this in kde/x, you basically just upgraded a part of your system. This is something you should not have done.

You can't do this type of upgrade in x/kde, without serious risk, it must be done in terminal/console, init 3, with no x running.

I recommend you download and run my script, du-fixes-h2.sh, which is made to run in init 3.

Please read the download page thoroughly before continuing.

As long as your system is 2005-4 or later, it should be ok. Make especial note of the install -f options.

Do not try to do this in kde/x, or your system may become irrecoverably destroyed.

It will be helpful when you tell us which Kanotix version you are using. Especially with older versions updating Xorg can be quite tricky. Using h2's update-scripts can solve such problems.
Ok, piper and h2 were faster, just follow their advise Smilie
