I've run into that several times myself doing daily dist-upgrades on my work laptop. (Yes, unstable is bad on a production machine, but I need X4 for the LCD screen, and the potato X4 packages weren't available at the time.) When apt dies like that, I copy and paste the file it was complaining about into a command line like the following: $ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/xlibs_4.0.1-12_i386.deb Then run apt-get -f install, and continue with the apt-get dist-upgrade. It's worked well so far for me. :) -- Bill Jonas | "If you haven't gotten where you're going, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | you aren't there yet." --George Carlin http://www.billjonas.com/ | http://www.harrybrowne.org/
