Disappearance of experimental packages in dselect
I have been trying to get XFree86 4.3 installed on my 17" PowerBook
G4. I am using a 2.4.23 benh kernel, and my sources.list is as
follows:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb ftp://debian.mirrors.pair.com unstable main
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian/project/experimental/
main/binary-powerpc/
deb http://http.us.debian.org/ ../project/experimental main
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/ ../project/experimental main
The problem is that the xserver and xfree86 packages for 4.3.0.1 are
no longer appearing in dselect. An initial install as I was learning
to use dselect ended up with mostly 4.3.0.1 packages but some 4.2.1
packages, so I purged all of the x-related packages. Afterward, only a
couple of library packages like libmesa and another one from the
4.3.0.1 packages in experimental are showing up. Any idea what I might
be doing wrong?
