They're probably the unofficial ports/backports from http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/xfree86/ I got 4.3.0-0ds2.0.0woody1 source from there, compiled it, and it worked fine apart from the odd dpkg --sledgehammer to remove obstreperous 4.1 packages. Maybe these apparently more recent versions have a bug in the control files? In case it's of any help, I've attached for comparison the control.tar.gz from my locally-built xlibs-data_4.3.0-0ds2.0.0woody1_all.deb (converted to bzip2 format, which makes it 15% smaller). -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
