The combination of the official archive and the gnuab archive do not
produce CDs that installs a useful x-system. e.g x-window-system-core has
unmet dependencies, caused by the missing libraries. Has someone got
extra packages hiding somewhere?
The problem I am facing at the moment is that I will need to do some major
butchery to the main archive before the earlier version of XFree will
build onto the CDs.
