Testing: xfree86 calamity
Can anyone help me out on this one?
Upgrading from 2.2r2 using testing, apt-get barfed horribly over moving
from xfree86 3 to 4.
Current situation is the usual circular unmet dependencies circus:
can't install xlibs 4 because xpm4g 3.6 is to be installed
can't install libxaw7 because xlibs isn't yet installed ...
There appears to be no way out of this by hand-tweaking, that I can find
-- can't remove xpm4g because everything under X depends on it; can't
install new xlibs because it conflicts with xpm4g -- etc. etc.
apt-get wants to REMOVE 703 Mb (just about everything that runs under X)
-- there *has* to be a better way.
Hasn't there?
Any help really appreciated.
