So, you're the second to report this.

Maybe others know why this is, but I fail to see how it comes
about. What you are obviously missing is the xpm4.7_3.4g-7.deb
package. But, fvwm_2.0.43-BETA-0 depends on xpm4.7, so you must have that
installed.

The only thing I can think of is that you have a lower soname of
xpm installed, and that fvwm is refusing to load it. If so,
the fvwm package should declare a dependancy on xpm4.7-dev_3.4g-7.

Could you check, what the output of the following commands is
on your system:

  dpkg -s "xpm4.7"
  file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.*

I'm getting convinced there is a bug somewhere, but I dont know where.

Thanks
