Thank you, Hanspeter. I had removed octave in order to install xfig because of the conflict between fig2dev and transfig. (I then found that there is an X11 problem running the new xfig.) After receiving your email, I decided to reinstall octave. During the reinstall, xfig was removed. Octave installed just fine, with transfig-graphicx. I then tried to install xfig again, but the error conflict of fig2dev with transfig-graphicx appears to still be there:

The fig2dev package now builds the transfig program. This should now be fully replaceable against the old transfig-* packages (assuming upstream didn't break change the functionality between releases). Hanspeter
