As I'd mentioned at the top of my question, I already have XFree86 4.2.1 BUT from a different source... don't know where... probably picked up from testing Do I need the specific one from people.debian.org/~blade/... I guess there's no other way to force reinstallation from this source other than to comment everything else out of my /etc/apt/sources.list Oh, and apt-get install --reinstall xfree86 don't work cos there ain't such a program, is in xfree86-common I want to aim for, or xlibs, or what?
