Re: Can't install xlibs-dev

When I did a dist-upgrade a little while ago, X 4.3 had hit sid. But now I
was facing the problem that it wanted to uninstall xlibs etc. It turned
out those libs where replaced by libice6 and other libraries. So when I
read your question, I went to the debian packages page [0] and did a
search on file [second option] for the file you needed [1].

It turned out to be in [2] two [3] packages, from which I guess the first
one is preverred. So, no xlibs is needed.

[0] http://debian.org/distrib/packages
[1] http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=SMlib.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386
[2] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/libsm-dev
[3] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/lsbdev

BTW, I had to do an "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" twice while upgrading my
system to the new X because of the changed dependencies and replaced
libraries.

Hope it works for you :)
