Re: Question about new 'g' packages in unstable
Hello!
You have to *upgrade* xlib6 before installing xlib6g (which conflicts only
to older versions of xlib6. I hope you know that you are going to use the
hamm system, which is somewhat unstable (because of the change from libc5
to libc6. xlib6 is libc5, and xlib6g is libc6, and they are not
kompatible. PLease be shure to read the From xlib5 to xlib6 mini HOWTO
from Scott (?) Ellis (??) here on the list (check the archive or mail me,
and I will send you one).
