        I agree with you, but given that there are several transitions in sid 
in 
place, and a couple pending (removal of xlibs-dev the first one coming to my 
mind), I think it is a good deal between complete dependencies and wrong use 
of libraries. I know that you have not shipped libxaw8 in Ubuntu, because you 
dropped Xprint, but I prefer, as you say, a fix that works in this 
I-hope-temporary situation.

        Anyway, many thanks for your hint, really.

        Best regards,


                Ender.
