The maintainer said that it's a conflict of x11-common with the current version of xbase-clients. And there is already a fix, so the problem should go away with the next version of xorg. -- "The man who has gotten everything he wants is all in favor of peace and order." - Jawaharlal Nehru -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If not, do you have any suggestion how to do it without force ? TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.

Do I need to erase the lib directory? In frusration , at 5:00am, of breaking my workstation I did the same, force the x11-common package. Since then I found this article that explains it well.
