Re: Can't install Helix Gnome

[Greg Gilbert <greg@treke.net>]

Sounds like someone disobeyed the XFree86 maintainer when he said
not to build packages against the beta packages of XFree86 4. They
are on www.debian.org/~branden if you are willing to upgrade. If you
don't want to upgrade, you can just try and get the stuff you need
for gnome manually.
