Are you sure you have the file libX11.so on the system? And it's readable by you? Normally it's in /usr/X11R6/lib. Also, the package is `libx11-dev' (note the lower-case `x'). However, it's a bit strange.

Not so strange - there was a `index.html' in the directory, which contained the directory of the previous amd64 builder John Kehayias. I've removed the index.html file, so now you should see a (long) list of available packages. > Have a nice week-end, You too.
