Brandon-
Ever since the -4 package release of xlibs 4.0.1, my system has been unable
to upgrade the package. I thought it was a problem with the package but time
and trying thi on a friend's computer have convinced me otherwise.
Do you have any idea why this might be hapening?
I have pasted the error output of apt-get -f install below:
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
(Reading database ... 86210 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace xlibs 4.0.1-4 (using .../xlibs_4.0.1-12_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...
