First off thanks for the note about xearth. I've added the conflict line. The x11-common package provides a symlink from /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/bin. This should handle your kdm problem. The package probably isn't fully installed on your system due to a bug or two that will be fixed pending another upload. Thanks for your report and your patience. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
