Package: apt Version: 0.6.41 Severity: important I'm trying to install package xserver-xorg which xserver-xfree86 is currently installed. When I do this, it wants to install some packages that xserver-xorg recommends. It wants to install discover1 discover1-data libdiscover1 which I do not want on any of my systems. I have noticed this on every machine I upgrade to xorg if xfree is installed. If I remove xserver-xfree86 first, it will not install these packages.
I'm installing the xorg from SID, however, I'm not sure if APT is from sid or sarge. I saw it with apt 0.5.xx (unsure on xx) Here's an example of what I mean: # apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true install xserver-xorg Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
