I wanted to install some X11 related packages from sid, but they all

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.
Hard to tell without seeing exactly what you're doing and the full
output.
Hmm, well, basically I wanted to do
# apt-get -u -t unstable install gnome-session
on one of my boxen (which is running woody ATM). This gets me a list
of
broken dependencies, and apt-get quits. Following those deps, I end up
everywhere on said xlibs dependency (which, to be honest, I don't
understand, why does it want to install 4.1.0-16 when it wants a
version greater then 4.2.0 and such a version [4.2.1-9] is even
available?).
