See this bug.  There is one duplicate right now as well.

This is an interesting problem.. I had not noticed this until your
email.  The comment below (by Mike Harris) says it is necessary to
--reconfig due to changes in pyxf86config..

However, it seems that --reconfig doesn't work for some people.  Try
running s-c-d without the argument as Gene suggests here:
