- Binary package hint: xlibs
-
- Hi I noticed that xlibs-deb has a dummy transitional package but there
- is not one for xlibs. From the amount of xlib arrors happening it seems
- that a xlibs dummy package was over looked for dapper. Please look into
- this.
-
- also when trying to download xlibs I get this error
-
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install xlibs
- Reading package lists... Done
- Building dependency tree... Done
- Package xlibs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
- This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
- is only available from another source
- However the following packages replace it:
- libxft1 xkeyboard-config
- E: Package xlibs has no installation candidate
-
- Edit :::"'Solved with a Community member dummy package."

- No Ubuntu application depends on this package so it's not needed. 3rd
- party software should be fixed by those 3rd parties.

- Please backport or include into repositories as it may solve a lot of
- problems people are having with external installs.
+ Ubuntu 5.10 shipped with an 'xlibs' package, which depended on the
+ standard set of X libraries. This package was apparently dropped during
+ the package restructuring in 6.06 LTS, and should be restored in 6.10.
