The problem you and all gNS users observe when they do `aptitude|apt-get install xv' stems from the fact that the `xv' package (which does not exist in the repository) is declared in x11-common's Conflicts:. The reliable way to fix this is to rebuild the `xorg' source package, altering the x11-common's stanza by removing `xv' from the Conflicts field. Now, there are other (surgeon-like) ways too, which I'd classify as "gross hacks" -- unreliable, ugly, invasive, etc. > If one way is too much work, let's consider others. It's not too much work; but if I understand correctly Karl Goetz, he thinks such work is not worth the effort. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
