Hi, I was doing a weekly apt-get dist-upgrade of my testing/etch distro, and apt requested the following packages to upgrade:
The following packages will be upgraded: apt apt-utils aptitude dpkg-dev dselect gnome-panel gspot kcontrol kdebase-bin kdebase-data kicker libafterimage0 libafterstep1 libchm1 libglu1-xorg libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprint2.2-data libgnucrypto-java libgnutls12 libgstreamer0.10-0 libgtkhtml3.6-18 libkonq4 libopenexr2c2a libpanel-applet2-0 libsdl-image1.2 libwine libxine1 libxml2-utils libxslt1.1 python-libxml2 python2.3-libxml2 python2.4-libxml2 tasksel tasksel-data wine x-window-system x-window-system-core x11-common xfonts-utils xfwm4-themes xlibmesa-dri xlibmesa-gl xlibmesa-gl-dev xlibmesa-glu xlibs-data xorg xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xsltproc yelp all packages were downloaded and installed successfully except for x11-common. A quick search in the list showed that i had to upgrade libxft-dev in for x11-common to install properly, however that didn't work. my error message is: Preparing to replace x11-common 1:7.0.20 (using .../x11-common_7.0.22_i386.deb) ...
