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.
Another way is to define a list of suppressed packages,
and set up apt-get so that it disregards anything that other packages
say about those suppressed packages.
This is easy and modular.
