Bug#266074: xlibs-dev: dependency problem with several other X library packages
Hello,
Thank you for your attention. I think this bug should be closed; in
trying to solve this problem today, out of desperation I force-installed
the dependent packages listed below by manually downloading version
4.3.0.dfsg.1-4, and in doing so I saw that these versions were the
normal, standard ones for sarge, not 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5. I can only assume
I somehow got sid packages for these libs in the recent past (I can't
imagine how; perhaps I modified the wrong line in my sources.list).
So: very sorry for the bad bug report. Everything works with the
"older" packages.
