blfs74 states quite clearly on libXp page that 'printproto' is a required dep. (Whether that's really true or not is a different matter: there's quite a lot of inaccuracies in the deps sections in blfs.) blfs74 also states quite clearly on both libXp and printproto pages, that each is used for testing that X install is OK. (Again, whether that's actually true or not, ... .) I see though that both are already out of svn. Are the X tests, at least, that use libXp/printproto, considered not relevant or worth doing? (More generally, what the 'Proposed changes' and 'Discussion about archiving more GNOME packages' threads from Oct/Nov, flag up again is that handling of deps-trees is still not very rigourous or automated in blfs.) akhiezer -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
