Try running dpkg with force-overwrite option (it was the default in old version and is no more which caused some problems during the transitions from X 3.3.6 -> X 4.0.2) ... To do this, use : dpkg --force-overwrite --install xlibs_4.0.2-1_i386.deb This problem should disapear when version of packages compiled with the new version of X get into woody ... Hope this help -- DEFRESNE Sylvain
