I just installed the sid X4.2 packages and freetype6_2.1.1-3 on my (i386) debian testing box. I nuked xie and pex5 with dpkg-reconfigure, as seems appropriate given that they're not part of X4.2. However, X still refused to start on account of a duplicate symbol for freetype in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libxtt.a. Removing xtt from the configuration "fixed" the problem. Now, I know that there are folks out there who didn't run into this. Any ideas what might be wrong? Did I slurp the wrong freetype6 packages? I can recreate the log easily enough, but I figure I'll spare everyone the 28k of spew unless someone thinks it might be enlightening.

questions for Xprint package
Hi, the Xprint (xprint.mozdev.org) package is nearly ready. It compiles on ia64, so hopefully most architectures should compile fine. I want to check I've got packaging in order before uploading. Let me know if there are objections to naming. Source package: xprint-xprintorg Binary package: xprt-xprintorg With regards to the binary file, the special case of X11 actually makes it a little easier to deal with. X11 files (ones based on imake) are allowed by policy (I can't find the reference but I remember reading it) to reside in /usr/bin/X11, and that's where the binary from xprt (XFree86) goes. So if I put my Xprt into /usr/bin, then there is no conflict to deal with. The two binaries can live side by side. It may seem somewhat confusing to have the two of them, but I figure if you're installing either package, then you'll know what you're doing. Hence, binary: /usr/bin/Xprt In that vein, may I suggest the current xprt package Recommends: xprt-xprintorg. A change in the description of xprt to explain the difference between the two may also be appropriate. Xprt (either version) requires a set of config files in order to run. xprt-xprintorg contains these config files. In the future it will no doubt be appropriate to package them separately (xprt-common), but since Xprt from xprt doesn't work anyway, there seems to be no hurry to do this. Finally, I've got a lintian warning I'd like some help with. lintian says: W: xprt-xprintorg: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/Xprt /usr/lib N: N: The binary or shared library defines the RPATH'. Usually this is a N: bad thing. Most likely you will find a Makefile with a line like: N: gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath N: or N: gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib What does this mean, and what can I do about it? -rpath is in fact found in the Makefile in xc/programs/Xserver, in variable EXTRA_LOAD_FLAGS, but it's not in the Imakefile. Do you get the same problem in the XFree86 packages?
