No, for the same reason I'm having a trouble now: apt-get reckons freetype-2.0.3-7
conflicts with freetype2-2.1.3-2cl. Though that looks a little suss,
come to think of it. It's saying freetype conflicts with freetype2,
isn't it?
Does the -2cl mean freetype2 has come from a Connectiva Linux
distribution? It's possible, I was getting pretty desperate last
weekend to complete dependency sets after 3 hours of trying to upgrade.
# apt-get install freetype
