Hey... I've been wanting to play with some of the packages in unstable but have found that more and more this requires me to update to thte xlib6g and other 'g' packages. While often I can avoid this by sticking with the 'stable' tree that's not always possible when I want to use packages from non-free and/or contrib (I need to put the libgif packages on to compile KDE).
Now in order to compile KDE I have to have libgif* which require xlib6g etc etc... this is a bit frustrating as I am somewhat reluctant to put so crucial a part of my system into the 'unstable' tree. Is it possible that older versions of the non-free and contrib packages could be kept around somewhere on the ftp site? Also, as per a previous recommendation for the upgrade to xlib6g... when I try and install the latest version of xlib6 I get errors like this, any ideas what is causing this ... or where I am a package short.. it also happens everytime I run ldconfig now...
