apt-get update gives a similar problem. Can someone help with a solution?

The packages for Xfree86 have moved from their to the Debian offical experimental archive now you need to comment out the line for the penguinppc in the /etc/apt/sources.list and install the packages from experimental. eg.

I the /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
## XFree 4.2/4.3
#deb http://people.debian.org/~branden/packages sid/i386/
#deb-src http://people.debian.org/~branden/packages sid/source/
#deb http://www.penguinppc.org/~daniels/sid/i386 ./
#deb-src http://www.penguinppc.org/~daniels/sid/source ./
## Expermential needed for XFree86 4.3 
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian ../project/experimental main contrib non-free
To find the packages you need to upgrade:
Code:
>$ COLUMNS=150 dpkg -l | grep 4.3.0
ii  libdps1                         4.3.0-0ds4                      Display PostScript (DPS) client library
ii  libxaw7                         4.3.0-0ds4                      X Athena widget set library
ii  xbase-clients                   4.3.0-0ds4                      miscellaneous X clients
ii  xfonts-100dpi                   4.3.0-0ds4                      100 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-100dpi-transcoded        4.3.0-0ds4                      100 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)
ii  xfonts-75dpi                    4.3.0-0ds4                      75 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-75dpi-transcoded         4.3.0-0ds4                      75 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)
ii  xfonts-base                     4.3.0-0ds4                      standard fonts for X
ii  xfonts-base-transcoded          4.3.0-0ds4                      standard fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)
ii  xfonts-scalable                 4.3.0-0ds4                      scalable fonts for X
ii  xfree86-common                  4.3.0-0ds4                      X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
ii  xfs                             4.3.0-0ds4                      X font server
ii  xlibs                           4.3.0-0ds4                      X Window System client libraries
ii  xlibs-data                      4.3.0-0ds4                      X Window System client data
ii  xlibs-dev                       4.3.0-0ds4                      X Window System client library development files
ii  xserver-common                  4.3.0-0ds4                      files and utilities common to all X servers
ii  xserver-xfree86                 4.3.0-0ds4                      the XFree86 X server
ii  xutils                          4.3.0-0ds4                      X Window System utility programs
To upgrade the Xserver you need to update the database after the changes in the /etc/apt/sources.list file then install with this:
Code:
dselect update
apt-get -s install -t experimental xutils xserver-xfree86 xserver-common xlibs-dev xlibs-data xlibs xfree86-common xfonts-scalable xfonts-base-transcoded xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi-transcoded xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi xfonts-100dpi-transcoded xbase-clients libxaw7 libdps1
If everything looks good with the simulated apt-get command then remove the -s from the line to actually install the packages.

If there are any people.debian.org lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list file you should comment out them as well the servers are down at the moment.

Note: You can leave the packages for the Xserver that you have installed for the moment if you wish but you will have to upgrade eventually, just comment out the penguinppc line and any people.debian.org lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list and then dselect update to update the apt & dselect database and it should work now.
