So you are probably running some sort of woody/unstable hybrid. You might as well install xlibs-dev 4.2.1-6. You can either download xlibs-dev 4.2.1-6 and install with dpkg, or you can change your sources.list to include unstable. Add these to your sources.list: #unstable/sid deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free Then run: apt-get update apt-get -u -t unstable install xlibs-dev Unless you want to continue to pull packages in from unstable, after you install xlibs-dev 4.2.1-6, comment out unstable lines in sources.list and do another "apt-get update", or set up a /etc/apt/preferences file to use pinning.
