Has anyone had any problems using this backport? I was hoping to upgrade to this from the (unoffical) gnome 2.0 backport; am currently using stable with a few bits and pieces from testing and a few unoffical backports. I already appear to have xfree86 4.2.1 from testing or one of the other unoffical backports so didn't need to pull in the advertised backport; I'm guessing this is *probably* where the problem's coming from... Added the new lines and ran apt-get update apt-get install gnome-core gdm gtk2-engines* The gtk2-engines complained with Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.2.1) but 2.0.9-1 is to be installed Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.2.1) but 1.0.5-3 is to be installed BUT, the new libgtk2.0-0 and libpango1.0-0 are definately there... so adding them, and libgtk2.0-common and libxft2 in which they in turn depend to the apt-get install line I get the unmet dependency libxft2: Depends: xlibs (>= 4.2.0) but 4.1.0-16 is to be installed The relavent xlibs is not on the ftp site but there's one in testing, so finally adding '-t testing xlibs' to my apt-get install line ought to do the trick. It seems to want to do an *awful lot* in the process...

Need to get 17.6MB of archives. After unpacking 119MB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. That'll take a long time over a 56K modem (unmetered access... phew!) and I'm quite happy with removing all KDE... but is it actually going to work?! Why do I need xlibs from testing when it hasn't been mentioned in any dicussion of this backport (I think) and might it be something to do with having the *wrong* version of xfree86 4.2.1? Thanks.
