Problems with xlibs.
Folks,
I saw the cute KDE3 env at a friend's place and wanted to upgrade my
KDE2.2.
But when I gave an apt-get upgrade,
I get the following problem:
lewis:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbase-clients: Depends: xlibs (> 4.2.0) but 4.1.0-14 is installed
xlibs-dev: Depends: xlibs (= 4.2.1-6) but 4.1.0-14 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
lewis:/var/cache/apt/archives#
So I try an apt-get -f install, and I get this:
lewis:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
xlibs
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 530 not upgraded.
11 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/1253kB of archives. After unpacking 81.9kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

How do I get over this problem with xlibs?

ADMIRAL, n. That part of a war-ship which does the talking while the
figure-head does the thinking.
