Users should upgrade XFree86-clients to 4.5.0_1 or xorg-clients to 6.8.2_1 or newer before attempting upgrade of xterm to 206_1 or newer. Previous versions remove xterm on deinstall so CONFLICTS have been set accordingly. What was the rationale behind changing this behaviour for 206_1? cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au
