Joao,
This one can be overcome by appropriate use of flags to dpkg. If you
type 'dpkg --help' you'll see there is a facility to ignore, or override
package dependencies and force the installation.
I think it's something like...
dpkg -i --ignore-depends=xbaseR6 mfxyes
I've been doing this after upgrading to x-3.1.2.
