Glad to help. I still class myself as a newbie to. It would appear to be a simple bug with the way the libxft-dev was built. If you noticed the line in the error that said; libxft-dev: Depends: libxft2 (= 2.1.2-5) but 2.1.2-6 is installed In testing libxft2 is at 2.1.2-6 but the libxft-dev package was built to require 2.1.2-5 specifically. I'm not sure but I reckon it was just a typo when the package was built and it should have actually been 'Depends: libxft2 (= > 2.1.2-5)' or perhaps '(= 2.1.2-6)' looking at the package on debian.org I think its the latter. Whatever it was, these things can happen, the maintainers do a great job, but are human. -- Paddy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
