Stable/Unstable Frustration ...
Hey...
I've been wanting to play with some of the packages in unstable but have
found that more and more this requires me to update to thte xlib6g and
other 'g' packages. While often I can avoid this by sticking with the
'stable' tree that's not always possible when I want to use packages from
non-free and/or contrib (I need to put the libgif packages on to compile
KDE).
Now in order to compile KDE I have to have libgif* which require xlib6g
etc etc... this is a bit frustrating as I am somewhat reluctant to put so
crucial a part of my system into the 'unstable' tree. Is it possible that
older versions of the non-free and contrib packages could be kept around
somewhere on the ftp site?
Also, as per a previous recommendation for the upgrade to xlib6g... when I
try and install the latest version of xlib6 I get errors like this, any
ideas what is causing this ... or where I am a package short.. it also
happens everytime I run ldconfig now...
Adam.
