Therefore subsequent packages that require X fail to install, giving the error: 'required package XFree86-3.3.2 is not installed' The problem only relates to the registration of the package name. X is in fact installed correctly. >How-To-Repeat: Install XFree86-3.3.2 at the same time as a new install of 3.0-RELEASE >Fix: Work around 1: After installing 3.0-RELEASE + XFree86, add a dummy package with the name 'XFree86-3.3.2'. This allows subsequent X-related packages to be installed without problems. Work around 2: Do not install X at the same time as 3.0-RELEASE, but instead install it from the ports collection. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed State-Changed-By: billf State-Changed-When: Fri Nov 27 08:51:57 PST 1998 State-Changed-Why: We have upgraded to XFree86-3.3.3, and I believe Jordan(jkh) fixed this registration problem.
