Which is equivalent to say you need X 4.3.0 because Package: libx11-6 Version: 4.3.0-5 Conflicts: xlibs (<< 4.3.0) libxrender1 0.8.3-5 had no dependency problems and I could happily use X 4.2.1 with it. There is something broken in dpkg-shlibdeps which made this change from libxrender1 0.8.3-5 to 0.8.3-7 so I'm sticking with the older version until this problem is solved.
