Hello, all- I've had similar but sporadic dependency problems with the new X debs. apt-get hasn't been too successful in resolving things properly, even when the dependencies indicate a solution. My guess is that the complexity of X dependencies is really pushing apt-get, and apt-get -f is no help. But I'm no packaging expert.... If apt-get remove doesn't work right, due to what looks to be some sort of race condition while thinking too much, try dpkg -r instead. You should then be able to continue with apt-get install or update. Lastly, apt-get install the temporarily removed package once xlibs et al. have been completely setup. At least, that's what worked for me. -Dave Barnett On Sun, 17 Dec 2000, reiner wrote: > "Antonio M.
