I'm trying to upgrade my woody system after letting that slide
for a month. I can't get xbase-clients to go in because it can't
overwrite xf86config which is also in xserver-common:
(/dev/tty1)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root[549]# apt-get -f dist-upgrade 2>&1 | tee -a
install.0040.log

Need to get 0B/42.6MB of archives. After unpacking 19.0MB will be used.

May the LORD God bless you abundantly!
