Hi, I'm trying to install the packages xfonts-cyrillic_3.3.2.3a-11.deb and xfonts-cjk_3.3.2.3a-11.deb, for which I need xfs and xbase-clients;
xbase-clients_3.3.2.3a-11.deb depends, among others, on xlib6g (>= 3.3.2.3a-2) (the rest of the dependencies were already installed in the system); xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-11.deb depends on xfree86-common, libc6 (libc6 is ok, and xfree86-common... shouldn't it be installed with the basic X installation? it doesn't show with `dpkg -l' though). But xlib6g conflicts (and replaces) xlib6 (<< 3.3.2.3a-8) and xlib6g-dev (<< 3.3.2.3a-2), and replaces xbase (<< 3.3.2.3a-2) ... a bit too much fiddling with the x-window system? Now, this is the output of my attempt to install xlib6g: homega:/tmp# dpkg -i xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-11.deb dpkg: considering removing xlib6 in favour of xlib6g ... dpkg: no, cannot remove xlib6 (--auto-deconfigure will help): tk42 depends on xlib6 (>= 3.3-0) xlib6 is to be removed. dpkg: regarding xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-11.deb containing xlib6g: xlib6g conflicts with xlib6 (<< 3.3.2.3a-8) xlib6 (version 3.3.2.2-4) is installed. dpkg: error processing xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-11.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing xlib6g Errors were encountered while processing: xlib6g_3.3.2.3a-11.deb Now, the current system is running hamm, and the installation includes (none of these, except for xfs, have ever been upgraded): libc5 5.4.38-1.1; libc6 2.0.7.19981211; libc6-dev 2.0.7t-1; libc6-doc 2.0.7t-1; tk4.2 4.2p2-7; tk42 4.2p2-7; tk8.0 8.0p2-4; tk8.0-dev 8.0p2-4; xbase 3.3.2.2-4; xlib6 3.3.2.2-4; xlib6g 3.3.2.2-4; xlib6g-dev 3.3.2.2-4; xfnt100 3.3.2.2-4; xfnt75 3.3.2.2-4; xfntbase 3.3.2.2-4; xfntbig 3.3.2.2-4; xfntcyr 3.3.2.2-4; (these last two packages I believe will be replaced); xfntscl 3.3.2.2-4 (Probably I should upgrade more packages from potato, ... how about libc6). I can't uninstall tk42, I can't remember which packages need it, but I recall installing it for some reason(s). Please, could you help me with this?
