This shouldn't matter. libx11-6 does depend on x11-common, and no version of x11-common exists in sarge. If he went whole-hog to sid, then he should have the xorg libx11-6. I'm guessing that he tried to upgrade during the broken x11-common period (which was totally my fault and caused by my hastiness to get 6.9/7.0 ready). Upgrades to sid with the -10 packages should work just fine now I imagine, aside from the annoying repeat-debconf question bug that's more annoying than crippling. If he installs the x11-common now, it should fix this, but I'd like to get some confirmation before actually closing this bug. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
