Package: fvwm Version: 2.5.12-4 Severity: minor When I install fvwm I get the following message:

Fvwm seems to work fine after being installed, but every time I run apt-get it tries to set up fvwm again and gets the error, which is annoying. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Versions of packages fvwm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.2.3-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.10.4-6 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-9 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-17 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libreadline4 4.3-11 GNU readline and history libraries ii librplay3 3.3.2-8 Shared libraries for the rplay net ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Session Management ii libstroke0 0.5.1-4 support for mouse strokes like tho ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.2-6 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X Window System Input extension li ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 X pixmap library ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
