xlibs breaking dependencies
Hi
I wanted to install some X11 related packages from sid, but they all
have broken dependencies ["( ... ) but it is not going to be
installed"]. So far, so good. When following those dependencies, it
ultimately leads to xlibs, where it reads:
xlibs (> 4.2.0) but 4.1.0-16 is to be installed
Huh, I mean, what should that tell me?? If doing an apt-cache policy
xlibs, there is a 4.2.1-9 install candidate, and when checking
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xfree86/ there is
obviously a binary available too. Furthermore, apt-get -u -t unstable
install xlibs doesn't mention any problems.
What is the problem? I am seeing this behaviour an all of my boxen, so
it does not seem to be triggered by strange package combinations et al.
