It seems that the conflict between the xpm and the xpm4.7 packages in
the unstable/binary-i386 tree results in difficulties in getting both
xfig and fvwm installed. The dependencies are
Package: xfig
Priority: optional
Section: graphics
Maintainer: D.J. Gregor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 3.1.3-5
Depends: X11R6, xpm
Recommends: transfig
Package: fvwm
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Maintainer: Austin Donnelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1.24r-21
Depends: libc5, elf-x11r6lib, m4, xpm4.7
Package: xpm4.7
Maintainer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Version: 3.4g-2
Depends: libc5, elf-x11r6lib
Conflicts: xpm
Is it possible to generate an xfig that uses xpm4.7?
Alternatively, is there a mechanism under which the xpm4.7 package can
claim to provide xpm?
(Before I receive the inevitable suggestions of "Why don't you make a
Debian package for it?", I have to point out in all politeness that my
signature indicates I am visiting at this location. After June I will
not have easy access to this machine. It is not worthwhile for me to
take on the responsibility to work on a package only to drop it in a
couple of months. I appreciate the efforts of those who do maintain
packages and regret that I cannot reciprocate.)
