The version of libxml2 that I'm using (2.4.22-1, from unstable) doesn't have any direct dependence on X11 (xfree86), but its dependencies may.
Find out for sure which package needs X11 and then look at its .info file to see whether it is under the Depends: field, which means that it's a runtime dependency, or BuildDepends:, which means that you only need xfree86 libraries for compilation purposes. If it's the latter, then try installing it from the binary distro. > Hi - > > Each time in the last couple of days I've attempted to do an update-all, I > keep getting asked to install some variant of xfree86, which I do not want > to install.
