LORE, n. Learning -- particularly that sort which is not derived from
a regular course of instruction but comes of the reading of occult
books, or by nature. This latter is commonly designated as folk-lore
and embraces popularly myths and superstitions. In Baring-Gould's
_Curious Myths of the Middle Ages_ the reader will find many of these
traced backward, through various people son converging lines, toward a
common origin in remote antiquity. Among these are the fables of
"Teddy the Giant Killer," "The Sleeping John Sharp Williams," "Little
Red Riding Hood and the Sugar Trust," "Beauty and the Brisbane," "The
Seven Aldermen of Ephesus," "Rip Van Fairbanks," and so forth. The
fable with Goethe so affectingly relates under the title of "The Erl-
King" was known two thousand years ago in Greece as "The Demos and the
Infant Industry." One of the most general and ancient of these myths
is that Arabian tale of "Ali Baba and the Forty Rockefellers."

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]

Preparing to replace xlibs 4.1.0-14 (using .../xlibs_4.2.1-6_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xlibs ...

How do I get over this problem with xlibs?
TIA,

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