Re: xlibs breaking dependencies

Yes, of course it works if I put gnome-session and xlibs into the same
line. But you asked about the packages which get upgraded
*additionally*, but since gnome-session alone doesn't work, I can
*only* tell you which packages get upgraded at all by adding xlibs,
and
not which packages are *additionally* upgraded compared to an install
line with only gnome-session!!
I mean in addition to gnome-session and xlibs (and possibly what
gnome-session alone complains about).
Sorry, I still don't get it. In respective to what?? gnome-sessions
complaint has been attached to the last post, it was the first
paragraph of the output!
The thing is, I can still only speculate about what you're trying to
do
and what happens...
Ok, now, a lot of ouput follows.
You can't expect to gain information by trying only one package at a
time in general, so you could have saved some. :)
Huh?? You mean, I can't find the problem when following only one of the
dependencies? Well, rest assured that I followed most of them, I just
choose one which relatively fast reaches the dep bottom, so I don't
have to post that much.
Or e.g. you could also try something simple as
# apt-get -u -t unstable install xterm
This directly leads to the broken dependency on xlibs!
# apt-get -u -t unstable install gnome-session xlibs
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
The following extra packages will be installed:
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
autoconf2.13 gnome-applets gnome-panel gnome-panel-data
libdigest-md5-perl
libfam0
You'll probably have to upgrade those you want to keep of these.
I would have pulled in gnome-panel and so on anyway later on.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
This could be the reason why it wouldn't upgrade xlibs automatically;
it
still doesn't tell why it needs to install these for upgrading xlibs
though, maybe some versioned dependency.
Which means what?

Really thanks a lot! Best wishes,
