Jumping into the conversation late here, but I would try purging
xprt and xprt-common with one command:
"dpkg --purge xprt xprt-common"
Try reversing the order or adding more related packages if needed.
I think you could also use the "--force-depends" option:
"dpkg --purge --force-depends xprt xprt-common"
Double check that there is not anything weird in your X11R6/bin/
directory. I had problems because Opera left something in there
even when I uninstalled it (the entire X11R6 dir will be going away).
Cheers,
Kelly
