Uh, what's that? From the version numbers it looks like a kernel thing, but... Package: xfs Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 362 Maintainer: Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org> Source: xfree86 Version: 3.3.2.3a-11 Replaces: xbase (<< 3.3.2.3a-2) Depends: libc6, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3) Suggests: xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-base, xfonts-scalable Conffiles: /etc/X11/xfs/config f1750556bc8acbaf51c3de1f439f556e /etc/X11/xfs/xfs.options a7c971ea280e8a2126be30efef62f71e /etc/init.d/xfs bed6a404d7bd4a93a1799ec255966c08 Description: X font server xfs is a daemon that listens on a network port and serves X fonts to X servers (and thus to X clients). All X servers have the ability to serve locally installed fonts for themselves, but xfs makes it possible to offload that job from the X server, and/or have a central repository of fonts on a networked machine running xfs so that all the machines running X servers on a network do not require their own set of fonts. xfs may also be invoked by users to, for instance, make available X fonts in user accounts that are not available to the X server or to an already running system xfs. In my bizarre little corner of the world, xfs is one of my packages. -- G.
