2004-03-31 Thread Richard Kimber
After a dist-upgrade some X packages didn't install properly and now nedit doesn't work because it can't find libXp.so.6. If I ask aptitude to install the libXp package, it wants to remove 505 packages, which doesn't sound optimal. Any suggestions? -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/

Hi all, I'm running Testing on a PII 350 and attempted to do a dist-upgrade last night. Here is the results of the apt-get -u dist-upgrade. My questions is why is it trying to remove the task-x-window-system-core? If I did this wouldn't I have lost my "Desktop" and only had text only mode?
