Re: Problems with xbase/xserver upgrade
Don't you folks read the READMEs? There's stated that the XFree
packages are split up in several minor ones now, so for example xterm
and xdm has got their own packages each, xf86setup too, some client
packages (like xset) has gone in xbase-clients, there is a new package
xserver-common and so on. I think to read the docs before upgrading
such an important package should be a must and quite clear for
everyone!
My Tip: I use for upgrading dftp, which lets you read at least the
package description and checks the dependancies before downloading
something.
