>> Sorry I can't remember the *exact* error message ...
I today found the error messages caused by "apt-get upgrade":
The following packages have been kept back
libpng3
x-window-system-core
xbase-clients
xfree86-common
xlibs
xserver-common
... ... ...
"Kept back" ... that's a strange expression. Exactly what does it mean?
ag> I had issues here as well, probably complicated by other
ag> backports.
I have no other "backports" installed.
ag> I found that it was necessary to include _all_ of the following
ag> lines in sources.list.
ag> # XFree4.3
ag> deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/xfree86/i386/ ./
ag> deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/freetype/i386/ ./
ag> deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/fontconfig/i386/ ./
ag> deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/libpng/i386/ ./
ag> deb http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/xft/i386/ ./
I changed my "sources.list" to include all of the above and reran
"apt-get upgrade". That only resulted in the installation of four
add'l packages: libpng2, libfreetype6, xnest and xvfg.
ag> In addition, the apt-get upgrade didn't work too well, I
ag> finished up removing and reinstalling xlibs, as that was the
ag> main culprit that was being held back as v4.1.
So, I should now try using "apt-get install xlibs" or " dpkg -i xlibs"
in the dir containing all the downloaded "xfree86-4.3"-related ".deb" files?
Thanks for the help!
