R: XFree86 upgrade to 4.1.0
I first downloaded all the file the testing distro requested (included the
recommended ones) then I tried dpkg -i xxx.deb . I didn't try the apt-get
method because I would have create a list and so on first.
I know the apt-get sounds a better way, but I would like to avoid to
increase the work right now. I also found some package in a debian-people
site: http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ as David Barclay Harris suggested
to me. I will try it on a scratch system as long as I will find to time to
do it!!!
Thankx
Ste

Subject: XFree86 upgrade to 4.1.0
Hi guy,
I am running debian2.2r4 with xfree86 3.3.6 on my laptop: I have tried to
upgrade the x-system to the more recent 4.1.0 release, got from the woody
release. I downloaded all the packets (.deb) from the debian's site and when
I try to install xlibs it requests automatically the debconf package. I
provide it to the previous package and it consequently ask me to upgrade
perl from previously installed 5.004 version to 5.6. The system didn't allow
the perl upgrade because it could't deinstall-remove, in fact it is a
mandatory package!
I was wondering if any of you can help me suggesting how to upgrade perl
from 5.004 to 5.6.
Thanxs in advance
Ste
