Bug#486507: problem when trying to downgrade libx11-6 to 2:1.0.3-7 in order to fix VMware problem

["Pierre Bauduin" <pierre@baudu.in>]

I got the same problem with VMware Server 1.0.6, just after doing aptitude upgrade on my Debian Lenny workstation.

I tried to downgrade libx11-6 to 2:1.0.3-7 just as explained in Message #5.
But aptitude says it can't find the package, look:

[root@cobra] /root>aptitude install libx11-6=2:1.0.3-7
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
(...)
Unable to find a version "2:1.0.3-7" for the package "libx11-6"
Unable to find a version "2:1.0.3-7" for the package "libx11-6"
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
(...)
[root@cobra] /root>

... perhaps am I doing it wrong ?

Thank you,
