Well, I sent a note off to Vincent and asked if he could put the
Packages file in the xfree-3.3.3.1 directory. He has done so(Thanks
Vincent). Now apt does an update but the newer files do not show up in
dselect. In fact the few 3.3.3.1 packages I have installed by hand
still show up as obsolete.
------- Obsolete/local Optional packages in section x11 -------
*** Opt x11 xserver-comm 3.3.3.1-0 <none>
*** Opt x11 xserver-svga 3.3.3.1-0 <none>
My sources.list file is:
deb http://www.uk.debian.org/debian slink non-US
deb http://debian.midco.net/debian slink main contrib non-free
deb http://master.debian.org/~vincent xfree-3.3.3.1/
Can anybody give any insight into why this is not working?
Thanks
Brian
