xbase upgrade
I have been happily using apt-get to maintain a laptop at the `unstable'
distributon for a few weeks with no real problems. However I am having
trouble with updates of xbase and xlib6. It looks as though `getreal' is
really missing (I can find no mention of it anywhere), or maybe there is an
error in a script. Any suggestions? Here is a typical transcript (mostly
dpkg I guess).
