Other xfree86 version four packages I have installed are: package version xfree86-common 4.0.3-3 xserver-xfree86 4.0.3-3 xfonts-100dpi 4.0.3-3 xfonts-75dpi 4.0.3-3 xfonts-base 4.0.3-3 xfonts-scalable 4.0.3-3 xserver-common 4.0.3-3 xterm 4.0.3-3 xutils 4.0.3-3 If you apt-get these packages you should have enough to get x running again. enter them all on one line and use the --fix-missing option: (apt-get --fix-missing install xfree86-common xserver-common etc.) This should at least fill out your dependancies. It seems that you may have had more than xbase-clients removed when you did the upgrade. I hope you didn't lose too much. Don't re-install, it's not much fun and it's not really neccessary. good luck, -- Paul T. Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -currently seeking employment-
