You might want to look in /var/backups/dpkg.status.* in order to figure
out what pulled the new X server in. Most people complain because this
doesn't happen automatically. My first guess would be
task-x-window-system-core. At any rate, it can't be libgtk1.2 itself.
You might want to take this with the utah-glx maintainer, because it
seems it's not possible to install utah-glx on woody right now:
ysabell:/home/marcelo# apt-get install utah-glx
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
utah-glx: Depends: xserver
E: Sorry, broken packages
xlibs is a different issue. The short version: that's ok.
