I have versions of these in experimental/jswhit (the shell script is not made into a package yet, and the xfree86 package is for 4.2.99.901 - but I'm assuming it will be trivial to upgrade to 4.3 once it is tagged). I could have the PatchScript tell people to install xfree86-upgrade and use it if xfree86-4.2 is installed. But this obviously won't help for the binary package. Adding a warning to PreInstScript won't work because the install dies before it gets there. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
