I ran into this, perhaps a week ago. If you do 'apt-get remove libxft-dev' (there's about 2 or 3 packages in total this'll require you to remove), then do your 'apt-get dist-upgrade', then reinstall libxft-dev (and whatever other packages you had to remove), everything will work fine (or at least appears to on my system). --Andy -- "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
