Help! what debian package provides 'elf-x11r6lib'??

For some reason ftp.debian.org doesn't have the unstable directory.. and
dselect decided to uninstall tons of my programs.. :(  .. I changed the
unstable directory in ftp to hamm/hamm .. I still need that package
though.

 xlib6 used to provide it.  It should have been fazed out a long time ago.

I'd like to add, if you are installing packages out of unstable, which you
must be, since you have this problem (due to the xlib6 in unstable) -- the 
debian-devel list is probably a better place to direct questions about 
dependencies, etc.

Cheers,

 - Jim

The latest xlib6 removed the provides, any package that depends on it is
broken.  I filed a list of bugs when the latest xlib6 hit incoming, you
might want to check and file bugs against the packages I missed (I only
filed against packages on my system).  You should be able to force dselect
to leave them installed, a 'Q' when the conflict screen comes up (after
making sure they're still selected as installed) should do it.
