xlib6 used to provide it. It should have been fazed out a long time ago. The latest xlib6 removed the provides, any package that depends on it is broken. I filed a list of bugs when the latest xlib6 hit incoming, you might want to check and file bugs against the packages I missed (I only filed against packages on my system). You should be able to force dselect to leave them installed, a 'Q' when the conflict screen comes up (after making sure they're still selected as installed) should do it. -- Scott K.
