GNU Common Lisp Package and Xlibs

[Miguel Cabrera]

Hello all.
This is my first mail to the list, I even don't know if this is the
appropriate list. :P

Well I'm using Dapper, I wanted to install the GNU Common Lisp  package
(clisp) but its depends on Xlibs. I've reading some emails concerning Xlibs
, they says that Xlibs is a transitional package used to migrate from X11 to
Xorg on Breezy. So is logical that in Dapper it does not exist, but the
package clips stills "predepends" on Xlibs.
Is somebody working on it?
Where I can find additional information?

Also, I tried to build my own copy of the clisp package, the idea was to
remove the xlibs predependency (yeah, it's ugly) but when I try to make the
"build-dep"  this happens:

ceruno at cinto:~$  sudo apt-get build-dep clips
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Note, selecting libncurses5-dev instead of libncurses-dev
Package xlibs-data is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  xcursor-themes xkeyboard-config xbitmaps libx11-6
E: Package xlibs-data has no installation candidate
E: Failed to satisfy Build-Depends dependency for clips: xlibs-data

Thank you.


Miguel.
