Re: lxde package is broken

[Andres Cimmarusti <acimmarusti@gmail.com>]

I'm now trying to upgrade to the newer lxde backports, but there are dependency problems (it's two packages that have trouble  lxpanel lxsessionl, I believe all the required packages are in backports, but it's necessary to make apt aware of this):

# aptitude full-upgrade

The following packages are BROKEN:
  lxpanel lxsession 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  manpages-dev{a} 
The following packages will be upgraded:
  lxde-common lxde-core 
4 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 2778kB of archives. After unpacking 4600kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  lxsession: Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.8.0) but 2.6.0-3 is installed.
  lxpanel: Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.18) but 1.0.16-2 is installed.
           Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.8.0) but 2.6.0-3 is installed.
           Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0) but 2.12.12-1~lenny1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Keep the following packages at their current version:
lxde-common [0.4.2-3~bpo50+1 (now)]
lxde-core [0.4.2-3~bpo50+1 (now)]
lxpanel [0.4.1+svn20090524-2~bpo50+1 (now)]
lxsession [0.4.0+svn20090905-1~bpo50+1 (now)]

Thanks for the reminder,

I'd like to backport lxde-common 0.5.0-2 which already moved lxmusic as
Recommends to solve this issue.

I've upload lxde-icon-theme into NEW, please accept them if no problem
in the package.

The lxde-common is building, and would be uploaded shortly.

Cheers,
