Hi Michael!

I again cc:ed Moritz (who performed the security upload), sorry if I
forgot to set M-F-T and R-T in my previous post, done now.

Let me disagree.

Sorry for my previous fault, the problem is not with libx11-6, but with
libice6 and libsm6:

I don't understand why for a security update, which seems (to me) not
related to any X11 library, dbus gained two more dependecies on X11
libraries (the third one, libselinux1, is less of a problem since it's
Priority: required).

I compiled version 1.0.2-1+etch1 through pbuilder [1] on both a clean
*plain* etch chroot and a one with security-updates: both failed to
include libice6, libsm6 and libselinux1.  The resulted packages are
available at [2].

I'm not blaming anyone and I still think that this is a minor error when
the package was built, as I wrote in my first mail [3].

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
