Has anyone had any problems using this backport?
I was hoping to upgrade to this from the (unoffical)
gnome 2.0 backport; am currently using stable with a
few bits and pieces from testing and a few unoffical
backports.
I already appear to have xfree86 4.2.1 from testing or
one of the other unoffical backports so didn't need to
pull in the advertised backport; I'm guessing this is
*probably* where the problem's coming from...
Added the new lines and ran
apt-get update
apt-get install gnome-core gdm gtk2-engines*
The gtk2-engines complained with
Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.2.1) but 2.0.9-1 is to be
installed
Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.2.1) but 1.0.5-3 is to be
installed
BUT, the new libgtk2.0-0 and libpango1.0-0 are
definately there... so adding them, and
libgtk2.0-common and libxft2 in which they in turn
depend to the apt-get install line I get the unmet
dependency
libxft2: Depends: xlibs (>= 4.2.0) but 4.1.0-16 is to
be installed
The relavent xlibs is not on the ftp site but there's
one in testing, so finally adding '-t testing xlibs'
to my apt-get install line ought to do the trick.
It seems to want to do an *awful lot* in the
process...

40 packages upgraded, 19 newly installed, 73 to remove
and 366 not upgraded.
Need to get 17.6MB of archives. After unpacking 119MB
will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
That'll take a long time over a 56K modem (unmetered
access... phew!) and I'm quite happy with removing all
KDE... but is it actually going to work?!
Why do I need xlibs from testing when it hasn't been
mentioned in any dicussion of this backport (I think)
and might it be something to do with having the
*wrong* version of xfree86 4.2.1?
Thanks.
Simon.
