% apt-cache depends ocaml
ocaml
  Depends: ocaml-base
  Depends: <ocaml-base-3.10.0>
    ocaml-base
  Depends: <ocaml-nox-3.10.0>
    ocaml-nox
  Suggests: <tcl8.4-dev>
  Suggests: <tk8.4-dev>
  Replaces: ocaml-nox

% apt-cache depends ocaml-base
ocaml-base
  Depends: libc6
  Depends: libx11-6
  Depends: <ocaml-base-nox-3.10.0>
    ocaml-base-nox
  Depends: tcl8.4
  Depends: tk8.4

It seems that libx11-6 provides the binary libX11.so.6.2.0, but
libX11.so (which is a symbolic link to this file) is in libx11-dev.

Maybe the dependency libx11-6 should be changed to libx11-dev?
