Many packages depend on the old xpm package name; they should use libxpm4 instead. If they are rebuilt against a recent version of xpm4g, they will get the correct dependencies. Or, once we're in Phase 3 (release of XFree86 4.0.1 to woody), these packages can simply be built against xlib6g. - some minor dependency problems... mesag3 was involved Not sure yet exactly what Conflicts/Replaces/Provides dance I need to do to make this smooth; I've got some but apparently it isn't enough. I guess I should talk to James Treacy about it. - maybe the debs should Conflict with other server-card.deb No, there is no need to conflict with the 3.x servers. We will be able to support both (and we should, see the XFree86 4.x Driver Status document). - I had to move the XF86Config file in the right place That should not have been necessary; see the XF86Config manual page. - i had to add XFree86 in Xserver /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 ? Yes, that will be necessary for a little while. - the server tried to retrieve SecurityPolicy in the wrong path, a symlink solved. That should not have happened. I also haven't had this problem myself. What error did you get? Did you uninstall all of your XFree86 3.x .debs before installing these, as the README tells you to? -- G.
