Re: Can't install xlibs-dev

Hey Aaron,

Take a look on
http://www.morphix.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=810&forum=1

In 0.4-1, the XFree86 packages were from an unofficial repository, but since
then they have moved to sid/unstable. Problem is however, that updating from
the old packages is slightly annoying as xlibs-dev wasn't included. Downgrading
to XFree86 v 4.2 and then using the sid packages to upgrade again should solve
it, but it isn't ideal...

Needless to say, new isos are passed due :)

Cheers and good luck,

Alex
