# XFree86 4.3: deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/debian/woody/experimental/ ./
(i have sources for "testing" distro too)
apt-get update apt-get install -t testing xfree86-common xbase-clients xserver-xfree86 xlibs
xserver-xfree86 xlibs Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: xbase-clients: Depends: cpp-3.2 but it is not installable Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.2.0) but it is not installable Depends: libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.4-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libpng12-0 but it is not installable Depends: libxft2 (> 2.1.1) but it is not installable xfree86-common: Depends: debconf (>= 1.2.9) but 1.0.32 is to be installed xlibs: Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.2.0) but it is not installable Depends: libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.4-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages
I think by setting up apt-get "pinning" or something, these dependancies can be downloaded and installed automatically. However, i haven't figured that out, so i resolve these problems manually (it doesn't happen very often). Some of these errors may go away if you put this in apt.conf:
APT::Default-Release "testing"; APT::Cache-Limit 10000000;
apt-get update apt-get install -t testing xfree86-common xbase-clients xserver-xfree86 xlibs
Just handle the problems one at a time:
apt-get install -t testing cpp-3.2
If it depends on something else, then install that too.
apt-get install -t testing libfontconfig1 ... apt-get install -t testing libfreetype6
Then try again:
apt-get install -t testing xfree86-common xbase-clients xserver-xfree86 xlibs
