Hi Ian, since you wrote the patch that Joey has been testing, can you look what's wrong with it ?

I applied this patch on top of current git master (rev 98cdd8883f0661e24ff72d4c29d73554586eddf8), and have been using it today while doing whatever, and it seemed to cause this failure: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/joey/tmp/xterm-231>dpkg -i ../xterm_231-2boldmode1_i386.deb dpkg: ../../src/depcon.c:218: depisok: Assertion `dep->type == dep_depends || dep->type == dep_predepends || dep->type == dep_breaks || dep->type == dep_conflicts || dep->type == dep_recommends || dep->type == dep_suggests || dep->type == dep_enhances' failed. Other packages installed ok; I was able to downgrade to unstable's dpkg and then install xterm successfully. Here's the package's header, just in case: Package: xterm Version: 231-2boldmode1 Architecture: i386 Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Installed-Size: 1108 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3), libsm6, libx11-6, libxaw7, libxext6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxmu6, libxt6, xbitmaps Recommends: xutils Suggests: xfonts-cyrillic Provides: x-terminal-emulator Section: x11 Priority: optional -- see shy jo
