Bug#366676: libx11-dev: dubious dependency on libxext-dev
Package: libx11-dev
Version: 2:1.0.0-6
Severity: normal
When trying to compile libx11 and libxext from source I run into the
following dependency problem:
- libx11-dev depends on libxext-dev
- libxext build-depends on libx11-dev
.. therefore I am unable to build libxext!
I am not sure whether the culprit is libx11-dev or libxext.
Cheers,
Jeremy
