    Hi

    I'm tracking side and for the past month or so, aptitude and refused
    to upgrade the "x-window-system-core" package saying that it is
    broken, at first I thought that this was due to the ongoing change
    from xfree86 to xorg. However sid has been on xorg for a while now
    and I am still getting the same error when trying to upgrade the
    "x-window-system-core" package

    skymoo:/home/ram# aptitude install x-window-system-core

    1 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 9 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    Need to get 0B/553kB of archives. After unpacking 13.1MB will be freed.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

    why does my system want to remove these packages? Is this a know
    problem or am I doing something stupid?

    Cheers

    Adam
