Package: xlibs
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I'm using Sid. While installing a 3rd party package, xlibs, on which it is dependent,
wasn't installed. Upon attempting to install xlibs, I received the
following message:
"Package xlibs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source."
Searching http://packages.debian.org shows a listing for xlibs
( http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/xlibs ) and a link to download
the file, however, the file doesn't exist on any of the download pool links.

The xlibs package doesn't exist any more, so your third party package
needs to be changed to take this into account.
