Hi I'm tracking side and for the past month or so, aptitude and refused to upgrade the "x-window-system-core" package saying that it is broken, at first I thought that this was due to the ongoing change from xfree86 to xorg. However sid has been on xorg for a while now and I am still getting the same error when trying to upgrade the "x-window-system-core" package

Is this a know problem or am I doing something stupid? Cheers Adam
