Xserver-Xorg (SOLVED)
I have a question for anyone:
Does anyone have issues with updating xserver-xorg. The reason I ask is because I go to update these on my laptop and I am having major dependency issues, I can't seem to update them.....any help would be greatly appreciated.....cheers

Re: Xserver-Xorg
hi andrew,
first of all i would make sure the system is updated
after that i would check again with another dist-upgrade to see if the xorg pkgs would update or not;
if they don't update after all this, can you please give us the output of and but only after you try the other steps, otherwise the output might be misleading
first of all i would make sure the system is updated
you have 156 pkgs waiting to be updated (of course as this is sid nasty things can happen in the way )150 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 34 not upgraded.

OK.....redid the DU, the ran the command for installing xserver-xorg & core, this is what came back again:

Re: Xserver-Xorg
It looks like you still have the libpixman packages which come with LMDE, ported from Ubuntu, installed. At this point, those packages are somewhat outdated and newer Xorgs require newer versions of this library, which should be in the Debian Sid repos. If you could post the contents of your /etc/apt/preferences file, I think you'll confirm my suspicion that the Mint repo currently has a higher priority than the Debian repos, preventing the newer libpixman from being installed.
Edit: Alternately, you could, from the command line, run to see if the Mint version of this package has priority over Sid versions.

Hello gavinhc:
I did the command in terminal and got this result:
What exactly do I need to do in order to get this fixed and move on to newer things....thank you in advance....cheers
P.S. ; Just to let you know, I did an experiment going through various combinations of repo sets, and everything seems to revolve around the Sid repositories....everything else says that the files are up to date or doesn't show up at all...

Re: Xserver-Xorg
Would it be posible to take out the libpixman 1.0 file and try to DU from there, or would that in turn mess things up even worse.
Re: Xserver-Xorg
Here's my preferences list:
From what I can tell, Debian is set at a lower level of priority than the rest....should I reset that to 700 as well and see what happens

Re: Xserver-Xorg
what do you mean by temp disabling the mint repo....I'm a little confused
Re: Xserver-Xorg
andrew,
this is what you have:
make it look like like this:
do a full DU and then go back to the first set of repos ( you see the # it disables the repo in the sources.list, so it doesn't read it)
this is what you have:
