Bug#350298: x11-common: trying to overwrite `/usr/include/X11', which is also in package libxft-dev

[Felix Kuehling]

Package: x11-common
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Severity: important

Upgrading Unstable from x11-common 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 to 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 I 
get this error message from dpkg:

Unpacking replacement x11-common ...
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/include/X11', which is also in package 
libxft-dev

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_6.9.0.dfsg.1-4_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have libxft-dev 2.1.8.2-2 installed, which is the current version in 
Unstable. I'm not sure which package is at fault, libxft-dev or 
x11-common. But since the x11-common upgrade fails I'm reporting the 
problem here for a start.

Regards,
  Felix

Bug#241034: xlibs: Meta key not working in emacs with XkbOptions altwin:left_meta_win

[Felix Kuehling]

Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: normal

The meta key stopped working after upgrading to XFree86 4.3. This is with
XkbOptions set to "altwin:left_meta_win, compose:menu". It used to work with
XFree86 4.2.x. The left windows-key was Meta.

When I remove the XkbOptions I can use left-Alt as Meta key. When I use
altwin:meta_win, the windows key works as Meta, but the AltGr key becomes
Alt_R and I can't access the 3rd mapping of certain keys (making the german
keyboard useless). That's why I really want to use the left_alt_meta option.

Here is the relevant part of my XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
Driver  "keyboard"
Option  "CoreKeyboard"
Option  "XkbRules"  "xfree86"
Option  "XkbModel"  "pc105"
Option  "XkbLayout" "de"
#   Option  "XkbOptions""altwin:left_meta_win, compose:menu"
#   Option  "XkbOptions""altwin:meta_win"
EndSection

I made some experiments with xev, once with altwin:left_meta_win,compose:menu,
once without it. It's funny that Alt_L+X produces the same result in both
cases, but with the XkbOptions emacs doesn't recognize Alt_L+X. :-/

= XkbOptions "altwin:left_meta_win, compose:menu" =

Meta-combinations in emacs don't work. Any more. With XFree86 4.2.x
it used to work with the left Windoze key as Meta.
