Those are also compiled against lic6 2.1 and will not work with libc6
2.0 in slink. You can get the unofficial ones at
http://master.debian.org/~vincent/xfree-3.3.3.1. The best way to get
them is to install apt from unstable(yes it works with Debian 2.1) and
add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list(see man page for
sources.list) and then run dselect and select the Update, Select and
then Install items. Once Install is running you can go do other things
and it will download all the component that you are upgrading.
