I seem to recall having to intervene and put stuff on hold when dselect has been confused by replaces: in the past. Maybe I'm confused :-). Next time this happens I'll make a note of what I do. Despite these quirks dselect is still my preferred package manager. Simon Hepburn. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try #apt-get install xlibs If you are running X4 you might also want to check what other X3.3 packages you have cluttering your system.

Actually the problem appears to be that a new cxterm hasn't made it into woody yet. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Ah, I see the problem (nothing to do with cxterm as I wrongly said a moment ago). Upgrade xlib6g too. By the way, don't use dpkg manually to perform complex upgrades like the shift from potato to woody. Use dselect, apt-get, or aptitude instead. If you're just trying to install a new xlibs and nothing else on a pure potato system, don't do that. Use the packages at http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ instead. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
