Many packages depend on the old xpm package name; they should use "libxpm4" instead. If they are rebuilt against a recent version of xpm4g, they will get the correct dependencies. Or, once we're in Phase 3 (release of XFree86 4.0.1 to woody), these packages can simply be built against xlib6g. > - some minor dependency problems... mesag3 was involved Not sure yet exactly what Conflicts/Replaces/Provides dance I need to do to make this smooth; I've got some but apparently it isn't enough.

I also haven't had this problem myself. What error did you get? Did you uninstall all of your XFree86 3.x .debs before installing these, as the README tells you to? -- G.
