Package: xfree86
Severity: normal
I just discovered that xext was still on my system even though
I have installed XFree86 version 4.3 and this package is described
as providing extensions for X version 3. Should it have been
forced off using a Conflict?
What led me to discover this problem (if it is a problem) were
these error messages in my X log file:
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/pex5.so
(EE) Failed to load module "pex5" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/xie.so
(EE) Failed to load module "xie" (loader failed, 7)

No; it's obsolete, but it doesn't break anything. The above error
messages are not fatal. It's just that XFree86 3.x and 4.x used the
same path for the server's loadable modules. (XFree86 3.x's experiment
with loadable modules was short-lived, though.)
I guess by the same logic I should let people keep xlib6g around.
Sigh.
Closing this report.
